    Touring The Arc de Triomphe, built between 1806 and 1836 by Napoleon to remember his great victory at the battle of Austerlitz, is the most famous in the world and other tourist places to visit in Paris.

    With 50 meters high by 45 wide, and inspired by the Arch of Titus of Rome, it is located in one of the largest roundabouts in the world, so you will have to access through an underground passage, for once ahead, see the touching Tomb to the Unknown Soldier of the First World War.
    In addition to being a symbol of Paris and all of France, this Arc de Triomphe is an excellent viewpoint with the best views of the great Avenue of the Champs Elysees. You can enter for free with the Paris Pass or book this ticket without queues in advance.

    A unique point of view. From the top of the panoramic terrace, his eyes run through Paris.

    The revisited antiquity. The architect Jean-François Chalgrin was inspired by the Roman arch of Titus in a single arch, but went beyond its exceptional dimensions (about 50 m high, 45 m long and 22 m wide) and abandoned the columns.

    A key place of the main national events. Where you can enjoy many activities, in the tourist field you can hire 8Rental transfer services, for a walk to this majestic place. Wanted by Napoleon in 1806, the Arc de Triomphe was inaugurated in 1836 by the French king Louis-Philippe, who dedicated it to the armies of the Revolution and the Empire. The Unknown Soldier was buried at the base of the arch in 1921. The flame of remembrance is revived every day at 6:30 p.m.
