Discover one of the most emblematic monuments of Paris!
Enjoy a breathtaking view of the city from the top of this imposing stone structure inspired by ancient arches.
Containing an impressive collection of historical artifacts and works of art related to the monument and its history, a visit to the Arc de Triomphe offers a deep dive into the history of France and Paris.
Located at the end of the famous Champs-Elysées avenue, the Arc de Triomphe is a true symbol, bearing the illustrious names of the Nation. It also houses the tomb of the unknown soldier, whose flame is rekindled every evening. A monument not to be missed!
