Landmark
Standing at Place de l'Étoile, the Arc de Triomphe honors those who fought for France and shelters the tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath its sculpted arch. Visitors climb 284 steps to a rooftop terrace for panoramic views over the Champs-Élysées and the city. The monument also features sculpted groups on its facade and hosts guided tours, family-oriented activities, and workshops.
💡 Good to know
Climbing to the terrace requires 284 steps (elevator often under maintenance), so pace yourself and bring water; book tickets online in advance to skip the ticket line, and visit early morning or evening for fewer crowds and better views.
