An exclusive view over the Champs Elysées, one of the most beautiful avenues in the world.
In 1806, Napoleon I ordered the construction of the Arc de Triomphe in honor of the Great Army. Inspired by the arches of antiquity, this emblematic monument collects the names of the battles and generals of the Revolution and the First Empire.
It houses the tomb of the unknown soldier whose flame is lit every night. From the terrace, you will be able to admire, both day and night, an exclusive view over the Champs-Elysées.

The queue for the Arc de Triomphe is fast moving. So don't be put off. Entrance fee per adult: €13. A visit to the viewing terrace is worthwhile. The ascent over the numerous steps is certainly a bit tedious, but you will be rewarded with a wonderful view, especially of the Champs-Elysées shopping street. Inside the building there are numerous historical remains to admire.

This influencer hotspot is located on the narrow median of the Champs-Elysées, directly at the roundabout of the Arc de Triomphe. A small queue forms here as one helps the other with a great photo.
I even saw young people sitting/laying down on the circular marker here, which certainly made for bizarre images in connection with the roundabout and the Arc de Triomphe.
Great photo opportunity.
