About this tour
Scale Paris's most iconic triumphal arch and stand where twelve avenues converge in a star. These rooftop tickets grant you direct access to the Arc de Triomphe's upper terraces, with a 40-minute self-guided audio tour included. You'll navigate via the underground passage beneath the Champs-Élysées and emerge into 360-degree city views. The experience typically takes 1–2 hours depending on queues and how long you linger above.
Highlights
- Rooftop vantage point over Paris's radiating avenue network
- Underground passage access from Champs-Élysées side
- 40-minute audio guide covering the arch's history
- Priority phone and WhatsApp support during business hours
- Digital tickets delivered 24 hours ahead
What to expect
You'll receive your e-tickets via email or WhatsApp the day before your visit. Head to the underground entrance on the Champs-Élysées side—there's no street-level entry. Once you've passed ticket control, make your way up to the rooftop. Pop in your own earphones and follow the audio guide, which walks you through the monument's origins and architectural significance. The climb itself is manageable for most fitness levels. Expect other visitors, especially during peak hours. The real payoff is the unobstructed vantage from above, where you can trace the twelve radiating streets and spot landmarks across the city.
Good to know
Bring your own headphones or earbuds for the audio guide. The underground walkway is the only entry route. Public transport stops are nearby if you need it. Digital tickets arrive 24 hours in advance, so check your email and WhatsApp before departure.
