Step into the heart of Paris and experience breathtaking views from the rooftop of the iconic Arc de Triomphe. This neoclassical monument, standing at 50 meters tall, offers a unique vantage point to admire the city's grand boulevards radiating out from the center of the French capital.
Commissioned by Napoleon after his victory at Austerlitz, the Arc de Triomphe is steeped in history and symbolism. At its base, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier honors the memory of 1.3 million fallen French soldiers, with an eternal flame that is rekindled every evening at 6:30 PM.
Your ticket grants you access to the rooftop, where you can climb 284 steps to reach the panoramic platform. From here, enjoy sweeping views of landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Élysées. Please note, the elevator is reserved for disabled visitors and only reaches the shop level, requiring an additional 50 steps to the top.
As you explore, don't miss the exhibition inside the monument, which delves into the Arc's powerful symbolism and its role in French history. Be aware that security checks are mandatory, and there may be lines during peak times. The Arc de Triomphe occasionally closes for official ceremonies or on select holidays.
This experience is a must for anyone seeking a deeper connection with Paris beyond the usual attractions. Secure your rooftop ticket now and witness the City of Light from an unforgettable perspective.
