Nachricht von The Wanderbug

The Arc de Triomphe honors those who fought and died for the country in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. It is one of the most recognisable monuments in the world, and yet it still takes my breath away every time I see it in person.

Free: Viewing the Arc de Triomphe

You can admire the Arc de Triomphe from all sides, but to get close to it you'll need to use one of the tunnels underneath the road, so that pedestrians don't have to cross the Charles de Gaulle etoile (roundabout) that encircles the Arc de Triomphe.

The Charles de Gaulle etoile is one of the most chaotic roundabouts I have ever seen in the world - here, the cars entering the roundabout have right of way - it is amazing (and a bit terrifying) to watch. But kind of fun if you happen to be in a cab that takes you through the roundabout!

Ticketed: Climbing the Arc de Triomphe

You can reach the Arc de Triomphe for free, but there is a paid ticket to climb the Arc. Book your tickets online, in advance - they sell out & often have very long wait times. Be prepared for a steep climb, up a tight, somewhat dark, circular staircase. Once at the top, the views down the Champs-Elysee are beautiful, but beware of pickpockets - it's a popular haunt.

History

Designed by Jean Chalgrin in 1806, the Arc de Triomphe stands at the western end of the Champs-Élysées and serves as a symbol of French patriotism. The arch's iconic design features heroic French figures battling Germanic warriors, and it has been a focal point for victory marches and celebrations throughout history.
