Arc de Triomphe Audio Guided Tour in Paris

Napolean's era and the Arc de Triomphe

Your trip to Paris is as good as incomplete if you haven't visited the Arc de Triomphe. A significant structure and landmark in the city, the Arc de Triomphe is a keepsake of historical events that unfolded during World War I. As you begin your 1.5-hour tour with an audio guide in your preferred language, you will be guided around the monument to admire its sculptures, intricate details like the 660 names of generals and army personnel, and the stories from the war.

Get ready for a climb up to different levels of the monument, each showcasing various aspects of it. There is a lot of reading material too if you'd like to stop and delve more into Napoleon's breakthrough. Climb another level and you will reach the observation deck from where you can spot Paris' popular attractions like the Eiffel Tower, and Montparnasse Tower for a complete experience.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

The arch was initially symbolic because of Napoleon's reign and victories but it later stood for the sacrifices of French soldiers and the unknown soldier. A Flame of Remembrance continues to burn, as an ode to the fallen heroes during World War I.
