Good price in Klook! Great view from the top of Arc de Triomphe. but do remember there are around 300 steps up to the top deck.

It is recommended to use your mobile phone to buy tickets in advance. You don’t need to exchange tickets on the spot. You can just go through the security check and scan the code. It is very convenient and saves a lot of time.

very very pretty. check certain times for Eiffel to burst into laser lighting. no lifts and quite a long spiral stairs to walk up.

Although the traffic gets bad at certain time of the day, it was nice taking the bus to go around the major sightseeing spots. Wish the audio guide provided a better information about each landmark..

Due to the long journey (4 hours each way), the meeting time is very early and we have to set off very early in the morning. The tour guide was easy to find at the meeting point and the coach was comfortable.

Remarkable Landmarks and Must-Visit Sights

Arc de Triomphe

Built between 1806 and 1836, the Arc de Triomphe honors those who fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic wars. The arch features intricate sculptures and engravings, including the names of generals and battles, and houses the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Located beneath the arch, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I is a poignant tribute to those who died in the war. An eternal flame burns in memory of the unidentified soldiers.

Axe Historique

The Arc de Triomphe is a central element of the Axe Historique, a line of monuments and grand thoroughfares that stretches from the Louvre to the Grande Arche de la Défense.

Cultural and Historical Significance

The Arc de Triomphe is a linchpin of the historic axis (L’Axe historique), connecting a sequence of monuments and grand thoroughfares from the Louvre Palace to the outskirts of Paris. It stands as a powerful symbol of French unity and patriotism.

Architectural Marvel

Standing 49.5 meters tall and 45 meters wide, the Arc de Triomphe is an architectural marvel. Its decorative style is a testament to the tradition of 19th-century sculpture, featuring works by James Pradier, Antoine Etex, and Jean-Pierre Cortot.

Local Cuisine

While visiting the Arc de Triomphe, take the opportunity to explore nearby dining options along the Champs-Élysées. Indulge in classic French dishes such as escargot, coq au vin, and crème brûlée at one of the many bistros and restaurants in the area.

Cultural Practices

The daily rekindling of the flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a poignant reminder of France's respect for its fallen heroes. This ceremony attracts both locals and tourists, offering a moment of reflection amidst the city's hustle and bustle.
