This was the President of the Republic Charles de Gaulle himself, who had celebrated his inauguration.

Stairs were placed in front of the entrance as stairs had not been carefully studied as the monument, because inequality is highly remarkable steps. As for the memorial, it is made entirely of concrete. The coating was hammered and various types of gravel representing parts of France were incorporated into walls. In an overview, the gravel does appear to be a single rock.

This corridor is especially protected by a grid in order to keep the glass rods.
