Full description

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.

Strongly recommend getting advance tickets! We had all day to use them without having a dedicated time slot which was nice as it increased flexibility. As we were walking to the entrance, we passed a long line of visitors waiting to purchase tickets (and this was not during peak season). We walked right in and right up.

Enjoyable experience. If you purchase this I let, there’s no need to approach the ticket office after the security checks. Proceed to the exhibition & then the rooftop experience. Please be mindful that there are quite a few stairs to climb, but you can do this at a leisurely pace.

We went right to the front of a very long line! The view from the top was amazing - so worth it! We got there around 7 and the Eiffel Tower side was packed with people waiting for the twinkling to start at 8pm. There is a video that explains the history of the Arc. The stairs will take your breath away:)
