What to expect

Arc de Triomphe

This iconic monument anchors the western end of the Champs-Élysées and the historic Grand Axis of Paris.

Features

• Your hosted entry service uses your skip-the-line entry ticket to Arc de Triomphe so you can ascend without waiting in the regular line and focus on the experience instead of the queue.
• From the rooftop terrace access with sunset views, you look out over Paris, including the Champs-Élysées and the full Grand Axis stretching across the city.
• Time on the rooftop terrace is self-guided, since there is no guided tour on the rooftop terrace of the Arc de Triomphe, so you can move at your own pace once you reach the top.

Champs-Élysées and Grand Axis

After or before your climb, your guide leads you on a guided walk that traces this central urban line through Parisian history and power.

• Commentary from your certified English-speaking expert guide throughout the walk is designed to help you understand how the Champs-Élysées became a symbol of French power and culture.

Gourmet macaron tasting

The experience concludes with a sweet stop that focuses on a classic French treat.
