Description
A Neoclassical adaptation of the ancient Roman triumphal arch style is the Arc de Triomphe. The view from the platform atop the arch, which is fifty meters high, makes the trip worthwhile. Observe the twelve avenues of Paris that radiate toward the City of Light from the arch. You will find yourself in the heart of Paris, one of the most intriguing cities on earth.
Shortly after his triumph at Austerlitz, Napoleon ordered the construction of the Arc de Triomphe, which was modeled after the magnificent arches of ancient Rome. Regretfully, he did not live to witness its completion.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, located at the base of the arch, honors the 1.3 million French troops who lost their lives during World War I.
The Arc de Triomphe is open daily, with extended hours in summer.
The rooftop requires climbing stairs; it is not wheelchair accessible.
Yes, evening visits offer stunning illuminated views of Paris.
