What a piece of history the this monument is. In the middle of the large traffic circle it was so wonderful to walk around with so much uncrowded space, a rarity in Paris. The Unforgotten Soldier Memorial Flame is so poignant on this eve of the D-Day celebrations. The climb up was slow but gave you pause to think while going up. The information platform gave a great history and over view of what this place is about and what it's legacy is. And when you finally reach the apex, what incredible views from up top the Arc de Triomphe.

We were happy with the flexibility of the ticket so we could go whenever we wanted. It worked out perfectly as we wanted to climb to the top at night. It was easy to get in and there were not a lot of people at the top.

The view was amazing! These tickets allowed us to skip the line and did not require choosing a time slot to enter so we could go at any time that day. I liked this feature since it provided convenience.

Well administered. A great view. The signage at street level could be improved and increased. We missed it and crossed the traffic which was scary.
