Why people love Arc de Triomphe

The performance was very nice, not sensational, and the audience included both boys and girls. The performance uses the human body as a projection screen, and the lights dance on the body, just like a human body light show. It is very exciting!

The tour guide will help you buy tickets on the spot. Unfortunately, you can’t go up to the top of the tower today (maybe because of the large number of people). Although you still have to wait in line to buy tickets and go through security, the tour guide will continue to introduce the history and stories of the tower during the process, and will also interact with participating tourists. We happened to attend the 15:30 pm session, and when we climbed to the second floor, we were about to watch the sunset. We saw the sunset all the way from the afternoon during the day to the night view, which was a great time. After boarding the first floor, you can continue to follow the tour guide and listen to his introduction, or you can rush directly to the second floor (in order to catch the sunset view, we left the group and left the tour guide on the first floor). Basically, you will be there after the tour guide’s introduction on the second floor. Let people move freely. Although the itinerary we booked included tickets to go to the top of the tower, unfortunately we couldn’t go up today. The tour guide would provide us with a QR code to apply for a refund for not going to the top of the tower. Recommend this itinerary!

I used the 48-hour pass for a day and a half. On the first day, I went to the Palace of Versailles, the Petit Trianon, and the Musée d'Orsay at night. The next morning, I went to the Louvre, the Orangerie, the Saint Chapel, and the Arc de Triomphe at night. All of this was free with the Museum Pass. It was a good deal. If you have a specific time you want to go to Versailles and the Louvre, I recommend making a reservation about a week in advance. Versailles was open in the afternoon.
