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

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.

Recommended Tours
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 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.
