CoupleVerified bookingOct 20265/5A fantastic attraction, no problem reaching it, easy entry. And then when you get to the top and have all of Paris at your feet, you never want to come down. Breathtaking view, Eiffel Tower in plain sight, you can't ask for more.MMichelle M

GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago4/5Standing at the top of the Arc De Triomphe and looking over Paris was magical! However, 2 of the 4 of us required the elevator. Unfortunately, it was not working, and 2 from our party could not come to the top. I would hope that the ticket sellers would be apprised of conditions at landmarks like this and not sell tickets to people who are physically unable to use them. I should get a refund for those 2 tickets!AAnabel S
GroupVerified bookingOct 20265/5The food and the tour were very good, but the port should be a bit better lit because you can't see it at night. Also, the waiters don't treat everyone equally: one of the waiters, to attend to the table next to us that was consuming more bottles of wine, placed an empty lemonade and Coca-Cola bottle on our table just to serve them and left the bottles there as if we were unwanted.
Ascend to the Arc de Triomphe rooftop for panoramic views of Paris city.
Getting started
Arrive at the centrally located Place Charles-de-Gaulle and present your e-ticket (mobile or print) at the main entrance. After a quick security check, begin your self-guided or optional guided visit, ready to climb 284 stairs to the terrace.
