Description

Meet your guide at the Arc de Triomphe and begin your tour of one of Paris's most iconic landmarks. Learn about the monument's history and significance as a tribute to France's victories, heroes, and national identity.

Hear the dramatic tale of Napoleon’s victories, the construction of the arch, and the sculptures that symbolize courage, sacrifice, and national pride. From heroic reliefs to the engraved names of French generals, every detail has a story.

Beneath the arch lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with a flame that has burned continuously since 1923. Your guide explains the emotional significance of this memorial and how it plays a central role in modern French remembrance ceremonies.

After exploring the monument, make the ascent to the rooftop terrace by elevator, and skip the 238 steps, and only use 46 steps. The terrace is one of the most spectacular vantage points in all of Paris. Enjoy 360° views of the city, including the Eiffel Tower, Champs-Élysées, La Défense, Sacré-Cœur, the Seine, and the Parisian Haussmann landscape.

With wide boulevards stretching out like the spokes of a wheel and the Eiffel Tower rising in the distance, the view from the Arc de Triomphe is one of the most iconic in the world. Your guide helps you find the best angles for unforgettable Paris photos.
