Itinerary
Arc de Triomphe
At the Arc de Triomphe, travelers will discover one of Paris’s most iconic landmarks, standing proudly at the top of the Champs-Élysées. Visitors can walk around the monument to admire its monumental sculptures and detailed engravings celebrating French history and military victories. Beneath the arch, they will see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where an eternal flame is rekindled every evening, offering a moment of reflection and remembrance. Those who climb to the top (or take the elevator part of the way) are rewarded with one of the best panoramic views in Paris: a spectacular 360° vista over the Champs-Élysées, La Défense, Montmartre, the Eiffel Tower, and the star-shaped avenues radiating from Place Charles de Gaulle. Inside, a small museum explains the monument’s history and significance, making the visit both visually impressive and culturally enriching.

Paris!
We enjoyed seeing the Arch de Triomphe. Viator sent our tickets, and we used the self guide tour. Lots of steps if you choose to climb up to the top, but the view is worth it!

Save your money
Save your money. Visit around d the base of the Arch. It’s not worth the money to go to the roof top. Additionally, I was very disappointed that the elevators were out of service. While I didn’t need it, young families, the elderly and those with physical disabilities could not enter. There was no one working on the elevators, only an out of service sign. These communities must have been irate. Do better Paris.

Rise to the top.
This was a return visit for me and return visit to the Arc de Triomphe Just like the first time, it was amazing just as before even with the lift not working.
C
Guide was a no show for the second time.
For the second time our guide was a no show. Very poor customer service. Avoid Viator! Save your money.
