A concentrated story embodied in the monumental architecture in the Empire style. It was built by order of Napoleon Bonaparte to commemorate the victories of the "Great Army", in particular at Austerlitz. It was based on the Triumphal Arch of Titus in the Roman Forum. The arch depicts 128 battles of the French army and 660 generals. Napoleon did not wait for the end of his reign as emperor, and did not live to see it, the arch was completed only in 1831.
Architects Jean-Francois Chalgren, Jean-Arnaud Raymond, Abel Bluet. In 1921, the Grave of the Unknown Soldier was organized under the arch.
I lived there not far away, on Osman Boulevard, I watched both on foot and on the highway, the beauty is extraordinary. I especially liked driving from the Champs-Elysees, steering, looking ahead, approaching the arch, beautiful..

There are few monuments, buildings, monuments in the world that would have such great importance for the place, for the city where they stand, as the Paris Arc de Triomphe, it, being in the center of the famous Star Square, is the compositional center of a huge part of Paris, to which 12 significant urban thoroughfares converge, including the Champs Elysees Avenue Foch, leading to the Bois de Boulogne, etc., except through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris passes probably the most grandiose urban axis in the world, more than 8 kilometers long, and which begins at the Cour carrée of the Louvre and then leads through the Tuileries Garden to the Place de la Concorde, along the Champs-Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe and beyond - to the Grand Arch in La Defense, a modern business district already outside Paris. By the way, the mentioned famous urban axis and all 12 highways converging to the Star Square (this is the historical name, the official one is Charles de Gaulle Square) can be better seen and appreciated by climbing to the top of the Arch. Have a nice walk around Paris!

A very worthy place to visit. Even in the tourist season, after 10 a.m., you can effortlessly quickly buy a ticket to the observation deck and enjoy the beautiful panoramas that open up a view of Paris from above.

The famous Arc de Triomphe is one of the symbols of Paris. It is installed on Charles de Gaulle Square at the very beginning of the Champs-Elysees. It was manufactured by order of Napoleon in honor of his victories from 1806 to 1836. The size of the arch is impressive and, understanding its history, you feel like a part of this history.

Great view from the height.
Excellent charging. To climb up, you need to overcome 284 steps.
Good service. We were late for the time indicated on the tickets, but a Russian-speaking employee helped, and they let us through.

The Arc de Triomphe is good in any weather and lifts the mood with its strict silhouette; excellent views of the city and Champs-Elysees street from the observation deck above. The bas-reliefs depict plots and allegories from the history of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic period.

It is mandatory to visit, it is not difficult to climb it at all, the view from it is amazing) buy tickets in advance and arrive at the time indicated on the ticket, then show the guard your ticket and do not stand in two huge queues - first to buy a ticket, then to enter with this ticket! I think the time savings are 2-3 hours. The view is gorgeous, you can see Montmartre, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Elysees in the palm of your hand and the modern business district of Paris La Defense.

The main street of Paris, the analogue of our Nevsky Prospekt, the Champs-Elysees, begins from it. The fireworks in honor of NG on the night of 2024 were at the Arc de Triomphe. For those who didn't know!!! The Arc de Triomphe can be reached by elevator. The admission fee is 13 euros, free for children. Tickets are sold at the arch.

The Triumphal Arch was built in 1806-1836 by order of Napoleon Bonaparte in memory of his victory at Slavkov. The approach to the arch is only by an underground passage. An observation deck is available at the top of the arch.

Whoever was in Paris is obliged to see it) It was created in 1806 and later at the behest of Napoleon Bonaparte. The whole building is completely Roman) Eternal Flame is not discussed.

Pretty girl! I will not write much, but I will say that if you are interested in a view of Paris, then you need to climb the Arc de Triomphe. A complete sense of the center of Paris, rays radiate from the arch-roads, including the Champs Elysees. Everything is beautiful!
