I thought I was going to have to let my husband go up in his own due to my knee injury but the lovely staff said no problem, you can use our lift!!! So chuffed as I'd already been gutted thinking I'd miss out on this amazing experience. 🥰🥰

Although the queue was long, the wait was very short. Quickly taken care of and efficiently controlled! The climb is certainly sporty, but what a view as a reward! Just magical!

A breathtaking view of the City of Light from the roof of the Arc de Triomphe. Buying tickets in advance saves precious time. Be careful, though: 284 steps to climb ... but it's worth it!Chauveau

Good condition for the climb. Very smooth security passage, as we had already bought our tickets the day before. Free for children under 18

The tickets were easy to book but the timings were confusing and you cannot access the schedule using the file reader so you have to just show up and hope for the best. They pack the boat tour so if you want to sit on the roof not inside then you need to get there early! Getting on and off takes a long time. The audio tour is downstairs only on little phones otherwise there is a tannoy which a few faces are read out in French, English and Spanish I believe
Arc de Triomphe
The Arc de Triomphe, situated centrally in Paris, stands as a prominent tourist destination, drawing inspiration from the architectural style of ancient Roman triumphal arches. As you explore this iconic landmark, pay homage to the bravery and sacrifice of 1.3 million French soldiers at the solemn Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a poignant reminder of the nation's resilience during World War I.
But the adventure doesn't stop there! With your tickets, ascend to the rooftop for a breathtaking panorama of Paris, where the city's 12 grand avenues radiate outwards in all directions. Enhance your experience with informative pamphlets available in 10 languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, and Russian.
Paris Catacombs
Get fast-track access to the Catacombs and descend 20 meters (65 feet) underground, where you'll step into one of the city's most intriguing attractions. Learn about the fascinating history of these tunnels, which became the final resting place for millions, with the assistance of an audio guide available in English, French, German, and Spanish. The walls of the Catacombs are lined with neatly arranged bones and skulls, creating a macabre yet mesmerizing sight. It is estimated that the remains of over six million people are interred within the Catacombs.
