I wish the tickets were more explanatory, For instance it is not clear that the river cruise can be taken every half hour. So I didn't enjoy the arche because I was rushing to the river cruise. Also for senior citizens it shouldn't be necessary to download and app.

We loved this combo ticket and did both activities on the same day! Both activities, I think, are a must to do in Paris! Really loved the whole experience!

Full description

Enjoy the perfect day out in Paris with a combo package that grants you entrance to the Arc de Triomphe and a river cruise on the Seine, each of which can be used at the time of day that suits you best.

At the Arc de Triomphe, head up to the top of the monument to admire iconic views of the Champs-Elysées. Climb to a height of 50 meters to reach the viewing platform for views of the surrounding streets that will make the 284-step climb worthwhile. You may also witness the lighting of the eternal flame every night at 6:30 pm or visit the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the foot of the monument.

Afterward, head to the Bateaux Parisiens for a cruise on the River Seine. Relax and take in views of some of Paris' most iconic landmarks, including the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, Notre Dame de Paris, and some of the city's many bridges. You can also admire Paris institutions such as the Eiffel Tower and the Hotel du Ville from a unique perspective.
