Tickets were easy to purchase, walked right up and got in line to go through security . Views were great, lots of steps!

The view was fantastic! Unfortunately, despite having a ticket, you still had to wait a long time to get in and the signage on how to get to the Arc de Triumphe (underground, not over the road) and how to get to the metro afterwards is very poor. This should be worked on urgently. There was a lot of chaos.

Super view. Please label better what you can see where. Clearer marking of which queue you have to join with a pre-purchased ticket.Alain

We were well received and accompanied on our visit. I was able to take advantage of the elevator ride with some very friendly people. And the view of Paris from the roof of this monument is fantastic.

The view from the top is superb. 360 degree view of Paris. Pre purchased tickets certainly saved a lot of time. If you can't handle the many steps, take the lift. Just ask at the security bag check and you will be escorted to lift. Then only 40 steps to the top.
Where to start?
Head to the Arc de Triomphe entrance, located at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, one of Paris' busiest roundabouts. Since there is no crosswalk here, you'll have to take the underground stairs from the Champs-Élysées or Rue de la Grande-Armée to reach the arch.
Skip the long ticketing line with your online tickets, pass through the security check, and enter the arch.
Discover the arch
Start your climb (or take the elevator) to the mezzanine level which houses the museum with interactive exhibits showcasing the history of the monument. Don't forget to pick up a free copy of the information booklet, available in 11 languages. Once done, continue your climb to access the rooftop for panoramic views of Paris.
The rooftop
The digital devices installed here will give you a detailed history of every monument before your eyes.
Steps climbed: 242 to the mezzanine level; also accessible by elevator and 42 steps to the rooftop; with no elevator access.
End here
Climb back down and spend some time exploring the base of the triumphal arch, which is of great architectural interest with inscriptions of the names of martyred generals and sculptures depicting important French events. Pay your respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, easily identifiable by the eternal flame that has been burning since 1923.
- You should have a moderate physical fitness level; there's a lot of walking including a climb of 242 steps.
