Itinerary

1. Arc de Triomphe

   At the Arc de Triomphe, travelers will discover one of Paris’s most iconic landmarks, standing proudly at the top of the Champs-Élysées. Visitors can walk around the monument to admire its monumental sculptures and detailed engravings celebrating French history and military victories. Beneath the arch, they will see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where an eternal flame is rekindled every evening, offering a moment of reflection and remembrance. Those who climb to the top (or take the elevator part of the way) are rewarded with one of the best panoramic views in Paris: a spectacular 360° vista over the Champs-Élysées, La Défense, Montmartre, the Eiffel Tower, and the star-shaped avenues radiating from Place Charles de Gaulle. Inside, a small museum explains the monument’s history and significance, making the visit both visually impressive and culturally enriching.
