If you've been to Paris, you may know the Rue de Rivoli. It bears the name of Napoleon's early victory against the Austrian army, at the battle of Rivoli, fought January 14 and 15, 1797. The street runs along one side the north wing of the Louvre, which Napoleon extended, and the Tuileries Gardens. This is a view from an upper floor of the Louvre.
