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.

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.

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

We were very excited and impressed! Only 30 minutes waiting time thanks to tickets with time! You shouldn't try to do everything, you can't do it in one day! We would start directly with the "Denon" grand piano! The Italian artists are much better! But also make sure you see the European/French wing! There is Napoleon's apartment and very splendid halls!

The Art is the reason to come to Paris from 7500 miles away, it is the investment made by this city over hundreds of years ago that pays off year after year as people continue continue to come to make a pilgrimage as we did on our 40th wedding anniversary. Sadly this is a once in a lifetime trip for us. We took as much as we could take in in the few days we could afford. It was terrific. A professor of mine came to do special research here after he retired. Linda and I got married a couple of years before he came to work at the Louvre. Victor Chan was a great professor at the University of Alberta with a personal collection of drawings worthy of the Louvre.

One of the highlights was certainly the guide itself. Chinelo. A fashion design student in Paris. She bridged the long wait in front of the elevator with charm and a lot of knowledge. She was entertaining, led the group well and kept us in a good mood. Especially in the annoying time before the elevators. I wish her every success and that Chinelo can guide many more people to the Eiffel Tower.

Great Experience – Even at 11 PM! We booked our Eiffel Tower visit for 11 PM because no earlier times were available — but in the end, we were glad! There were hardly any people, and we got through security and up the elevator very quickly. The night view over Paris was absolutely breathtaking. If we visit again, we definitely want to go all the way up to the third floor!

We were able to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower, which had been closed a little earlier, thanks to the tour guide's good knowledge of the route and a bit of tact. A wow view over Paris at night, from a height of "300 m". We were also given a lot of knowledge in passing. Thanks to "Professor JD" for that!!!

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.

Quick ticket purchase with app, clarity in meeting point description with host. Great experience with our "faster guide" Usca, who quickly guided us to the ticket office and advised us to go right to the top to avoid possible closure due to bad weather! Beautiful experience that fills your eyes! Recommended but!

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.

It was so fun to get to the top, the view is awesome and includes a great view of the Eiffle tower. Booking tickets ahead of time was easy and a must so you aren't waiting in line more at the arc.

We had the tour at 20:45, the meeting point is a bit behind the Eiffel Tower. Super organized. Highly recommended. But wear warm clothes! It's really windy on the Eiffel Tower

Why visit the Arc de Triomphe
The art and the architecture
If you don’t believe in love at first sight, the Arc de Triomphe might change your mind! Standing tall at an impressive 162 feet and width of 150 feet, this monument showcases Neoclassical elements of Roman architecture, drawing inspiration from the Roman Arch of Titus. Its ornate sculptures and reliefs vividly depict scenes from French battles and campaigns, highlighting victories from the Napoleonic Era. Napoleon sought to make Paris a city of beauty, and the Arc de Triomphe is one of his crowning achievements.

Explore the Arc de Triomphe
The tomb of the unknown soldier
Beneath the arched structure of the Arc de Triomphe lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a tribute to the countless anonymous heroes who died for their country and remain unsung. The eternal Flame of Remembrance, lit in 1923, honors the sacrifices of all French soldiers and has never been extinguished.
The inscriptions
What makes the Arc de Triomphe a key symbol of the French identity are the staggering 158 battle names inscribed on the monument's surfaces. Did you know that the engravings are interestingly divided, as the outer ring features victories of the French Revolution, while the inner surface celebrates Napoleon's conquests? The names of over 600 French generals are carved on the arch– a wall of fame like no other.
The museum
Want to take a walk through time to understand more about the Arc de Triomphe, from its conception to the blueprint and the construction? Head to the museum located just below the observation deck, dedicated to all things Triomphe! As you look around, you’ll learn about the design choices, the challenges faced by the architects, and the symbolism embedded in the sculptures and reliefs. The exhibits include artifacts, photographs, drawings and models of the arch.
The pillars
The Arc de Triomphe’s history is set in stone, literally! Between 1833 and 1836, artists like François Rude and Antoine Etex carved the pillars with scenes depicting pivotal moments in French history.On the east side, you'll find François Rude's 'The Departure of the Volunteers,' while turning the corner reveals Jean-Pierre Cortot's 'Napoleon's Triumph”. The south side takes a somber turn with Antoine Etex's "The Resistance," and finally, on the west side, there’s Etex's "The Peace".

The turbo pass is worthwhile for anyone who wants to get as much history as possible in Pais. You should prepare well, because most attractions still have to be reserved in advance. Clear homepage and good price performance.

The Turbopass is not just called that, it says it all. You don't have to wait long at attractions or sights where others queue for hours. Instead, you walk past the queues in a relaxed manner (in turbo mode). I can only recommend the Turbopass to everyone.
