It's the only monument I've never done in Paris. I always saw it from the fields but never climbed the 284 metres! Magnificent view from the top! And thank you to the staff who allowed me to take the elevator back down, as I was in a lot of pain on the way up! A great experience in the capital.

The view over Paris and the history of the Arc de Triomphe. The boat trip was also very good for an overview of the city. The windows that you could open to take photos were particularly noteworthy. The organization in front of the queue for the Arc de Triomphe was poor. At first it wasn't clear where we had to queue.

The entire process was simple. We arrived, got on line, wait was maybe 10 minutes to go through the security protocols. The attendant saw that we had two mature adults in our group and discreetly asked if they wanted the elevator. The walk up the stairs was a little rough but absolutely worth the effort. Views were spectacular after sunset!

To get there you should take the underground entrance from Champs Elysées - don't try to cross the street! We went really late (22:15) but it was great: no queue, went up with the elevator, had a wonderful look at the city from above, really stunning, then we took the stairs down (no problem at all). Unluckily we had no time left for the museum and museum shop. I loved it, a beautiful end of our trip to Paris :-)

River cruise was a very nice experience (there was a snow storm that day and it was great to be under a roof and still enjoy the views around you). Our Eiffel Tower tour was rescheduled because of the weather conditions and the tower was closed that day. The customer service was really compliant and responsive and they rescheduled the tour really quickly. The instructions to the meeting points were clear and our guide in Eiffel was super friendly and helpful. Really recommend!!

Why visit the Arc de Triomphe
The art and the architecture
If you don’t believe in love at first sight, the Arc de Triomphe might change your mind! Standing tall at an impressive 162 feet and width of 150 feet, this monument showcases Neoclassical elements of Roman architecture, drawing inspiration from the Roman Arch of Titus. Its ornate sculptures and reliefs vividly depict scenes from French battles and campaigns, highlighting victories from the Napoleonic Era. Napoleon sought to make Paris a city of beauty, and the Arc de Triomphe is one of his crowning achievements.

Recommended Tours
Explore the Arc de Triomphe
The tomb of the unknown soldier
Beneath the arched structure of the Arc de Triomphe lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a tribute to the countless anonymous heroes who died for their country and remain unsung. The eternal Flame of Remembrance, lit in 1923, honors the sacrifices of all French soldiers and has never been extinguished.
The inscriptions
What makes the Arc de Triomphe a key symbol of the French identity are the staggering 158 battle names inscribed on the monument's surfaces. Did you know that the engravings are interestingly divided, as the outer ring features victories of the French Revolution, while the inner surface celebrates Napoleon's conquests? The names of over 600 French generals are carved on the arch– a wall of fame like no other.
The museum
Want to take a walk through time to understand more about the Arc de Triomphe, from its conception to the blueprint and the construction? Head to the museum located just below the observation deck, dedicated to all things Triomphe! As you look around, you’ll learn about the design choices, the challenges faced by the architects, and the symbolism embedded in the sculptures and reliefs. The exhibits include artifacts, photographs, drawings and models of the arch.
The pillars
The Arc de Triomphe’s history is set in stone, literally! Between 1833 and 1836, artists like François Rude and Antoine Etex carved the pillars with scenes depicting pivotal moments in French history.On the east side, you'll find François Rude's 'The Departure of the Volunteers,' while turning the corner reveals Jean-Pierre Cortot's 'Napoleon's Triumph”. The south side takes a somber turn with Antoine Etex's "The Resistance," and finally, on the west side, there’s Etex's "The Peace".

It's the only monument I've never done in Paris.
I always saw it from the fields but never climbed the 284 metres!
Magnificent view from the top!
And thank you to the staff who allowed me to take the elevator back down, as I was in a lot of pain on the way up!
A great experience in the capital.

The turbo pass is worthwhile for anyone who wants to get as much history as possible in Pais. You should prepare well, because most attractions still have to be reserved in advance. Clear homepage and good price performance.

The Turbopass is not just called that, it says it all. You don't have to wait long at attractions or sights where others queue for hours. Instead, you walk past the queues in a relaxed manner (in turbo mode). I can only recommend the Turbopass to everyone.
