I used to live just to the right of there Avenue des Nerviens overlooking that very arch and the parc du cinquantennaire.
Edit, to the left of there, just realised the statues are facing you.
My daughter (and granddaughter

I’ve got to like and feel somewhat at home in this general area over the past 4 years visiting.
