About this activity
Climb to the rooftop terrace of the Arc de Triomphe and enjoy one of the most spectacular panoramic views of Paris. From 50 metres up you can see the Champs-Élysées stretching out before you, with the Eiffel Tower, Sacré-Cœur and La Défense on the horizon.
The Arc de Triomphe, commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 to commemorate his army's victories, is one of the most visited monuments in the French capital. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with its eternal flame rekindled every evening.
This ticket gives you direct access to the upper terrace, avoiding the long queues at the ticket office during peak season.
How to get there
The Arc de Triomphe is located at Place Charles de Gaulle, at the end of the Champs-Élysées. Access is via an underground passage from any of the avenues surrounding the square; do not try to cross the outer roundabout.
