View of the Arc de Triomphe

Highlight • Historical Site

The Arc de Triomphe, located at the top of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, is one of the most iconic monuments in Paris. Commissioned in 1806 by Napoleon Bonaparte after his victory at Austerlitz, it was completed in 1836 under the reign of Louis-Philippe. Inspired by ancient Roman architecture, this colossal arch is 50 meters high and 45 meters wide, with sculpted reliefs depicting heroic scenes from the Napoleonic Wars.

Beneath the Arc is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, installed in 1921 to pay tribute to the soldiers who fell during the First World War. The flame of remembrance is rekindled each evening at 6:30 p.m. to honor their memory, making this monument a powerful national symbol.

Why visit the Arc de Triomphe?
Panoramic view: From the top of the Arc, accessible after climbing its 284 steps, you can enjoy a spectacular 360° view of Paris, including a unique perspective on the Champs-Élysées and the Place de l'Étoile.

Architecture and history: The Arc de Triomphe is a masterpiece of neoclassical architecture. Its sculptures, such as Rude's "La Marseillaise", are major works of French art. Each façade tells stories of military victories and the grandeur of the Empire.

Place of remembrance: The eternal flame and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier offer a place of meditation for those who want to honor the fighters who died for France, adding a solemn dimension to the visit.

Historical events: The Arc has witnessed significant moments in French history, such as victory parades and the national ceremonies of July 14.

With its strong symbolic charge and its incomparable view of Paris, the Arc de Triomphe is an unmissable place for lovers of history and beautiful panoramas.
