At the center of a large boulevard, at the western edge of the Champs-Élysées, there is an arch that has been standing tall for centuries, with patterned inscriptions and statues that speak of a brave past.
The Arc de Triomphe is a key symbol of French identity, marked by events like the Bastille Day military parade and the annual Tour de France race. This giant stone history book, commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte as an emblem of victory, took over 30 years to complete. This guide helps you plan your trip to the literal heart of French history at this triumphal arch.
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.
The Arc de Triomphe stands as a powerful chronicle of French history, honoring those who fought and lost their lives in the Napoleonic Wars and the French Revolution. Commissioned by Napoleon in 1806, the monument is inscribed with the names of 158 battles and 660 generals who served during these conflicts—a golden roll of honor in the heart of Paris.
As the second-largest triumphal arch in the world, the Arc de Triomphe offers incredible panoramic views from its summit. Visitors can enjoy sweeping vistas of iconic Parisian landmarks, including Montmartre, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and even Notre Dame. Located at the center of a star-shaped plaza, with twelve avenues radiating outward from its base, the Arc is truly at the heart of the city.
