Paris: Arc de Triomphe Rooftop Tickets

1. Paris: Arc de Triomphe Rooftop Tickets

The Arc de Triomphe is a Neoclassical take on the ancient Roman triumphal arch style. Fifty meters tall, the view from the platform atop the arch is well worth the hike. See the dozen Parisian avenues radiating out from the arch into the City of Light. Paris is one of the most fascinating places in the world and you will find yourself right at its center. Inspired by the great arches of ancient Rome, Napoleon commissioned the Arc de Triomphe shortly after his victory at Austerlitz. Unfortunately, he never lived to see its completion. At the base of the arch, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier pays tribute to the 1.3 million French soldiers who died in World War I. Behold the eternal flame that is rekindled at 6.30 PM each evening. In addition, there is a must-see exhibition that explains the symbolic importance of this monument. The view from the top of the arch is worth climbing the 284 stairs. From your privileged position, survey all of Paris. Unlike the obligatory Eiffel Tower trip, getting into the Arc de Triomphe is an effort not all tourists undertake.

We took a late afternoon tour of Paris on the e-bikes today. Our guide,Boris, was very knowledgeable, an excellent communicator, took time to ensure we were safe and comfortable and accommodated our interest in Paris. The bikes were well maintained and very easy to ride. A small tour we would recommend.

The trip was AMAZING!! My husband and I appreciate the attention to detail. David kept things light and fun AND kept things on time and moving!

Emma was delightful! We enjoyed the tour very much. She was knowledgable and enjoyable. This is the best way to tour Paris!

We were at the second floor. The guide was very nice and had many good informations about the Eiffel Tower.

Loved the ability to walk right up and that we could spend as much time as we wanted enjoying the view.
