In honour of the Irish soldiers who fought for France

‘La Flamme sous l’Arc de Triomphe, Flamme de la Nation’ is a union of associations bringing together 500 associations. The aim of the association is to rekindle the flame on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier every day at dusk and, to keep alive the memory of all French and allied servicemen who fell on the field of honour. Since 11 November 1923, the association has rekindled the flame under the Arc de Triomphe every evening at 6.30pm.
