Admire the arch built to celebrate Napoleon's victory

The Arc de Triomphe was built to commemorate Napoleon's victory at the Battle of Austerlitz in 1806. It is 49.54 m high, 44.82 m wide and 22.21 m thick, and the central arch is 36.6 m high and 14.6 m wide. Its four facades bear large reliefs representing Departure, Victory, Peace and Resistance.

The Departure relief shows the Goddess of Liberty drawing her sword to lead the people forward, commemorating the 10 August uprising of the French Revolution that brought down the monarchy. It is also known as La Marseillaise. Victory shows Napoleon's triumphant return, crowned with olive branches by the Goddess of Victory, while Resistance commemorates the French people's resistance against the Sixth Coalition.

Look down on the 12 avenues of Place de l'Étoile

Twelve grand avenues radiate from the Arc de Triomphe. From the terrace, you can see this urban design from above at a glance.

Enjoy the Champs-Élysées at dusk

At nightfall, the lights of the Champs-Élysées stretching from the arch create a majestic view. With opening hours running into the night, it is also a great spot for night views.
