What To Expect
Arc de Triomphe
A unique viewpoint. From the top of the panoramic terrace, your eyes sweep over the whole of Paris. The revisited Antiquity. Architect Jean-François Chalgrin was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus in a single arch, but went beyond it by exceptional dimensions (about 50 m high, 45 m long and 22 m wide) and abandoning columns. A key place of major national events. Wanted by Napoleon in 1806, the Arc de Triomphe was inaugurated in 1836 by French king, Louis-Philippe, who dedicated it to the armies of the Revolution and the Empire. The Unknown Soldier was buried at the base of the arch in 1921. The flame of remembrance is rekindled every day at 18:30.

5.00A LOT of stairs to get to the top but the view is worth it. Eiffel tower in the background of pictures is great! Birdseye view of the city as well. Details on the designs/statues/etc on the Arc can be found inside as well if you're into the history side.

5.00You gain access to arc De Triomphe at top of Champs Elysees access the underground passageway takes minutes only follow signs …bypass the ticketing lines and show person at “gate” your pass which displays time. We covered it all in about an hour…views were amazing and tomb of Unknown soldier was a nice memorial.
The Arc de Triomphe was amazing but this experience was terrible.

1.00I would not recommend this experience. I'm not sure what they mean by "Priority" tickets because I still had to stand in the same queue as everyone else (for 45 minutes). There wasn't an option for a private guide, instead I was emailed an audio guide to download. The audio guide was awful. The mispronunciation of the French words and places was so distracting that I had to turn it off. It is also much cheaper to book through the Arc de Triomphe website.

5.00Going to the top of Arc de Triomphe was a highlight for our last evening in Paris. Seeing all of Paris starting to light up as the sun went down was magical. The vantage point gave us a view of the Eiffel Tower giving a complete Paris skyline.
Don’t waste your time or money!!

1.00Don’t Waste Your Time Or Money!!! We purchased these tickets and got to the Arc only to find there WAS NO priority entrance / line/ gate . Instead a line that would have taken minimum of an hour to get us to the entrance. I fully intend to attempt to get a refund. That was money I could have used for a different excursion for my precious time in Paris.
