Triumphal arch commissioned by Napoleon; climb for panoramic Paris views
























"A pre‑midnight video‑mapping takeover at 11:40 p.m. turns the monument into a luminous canvas before the city’s fireworks crown the moment at midnight." - Elissa Garay
"Included among the highlights of Blacklane’s four-hour Paris tours, the Arc de Triomphe is a stop where I can expect photo opportunities and the flexibility to adjust pick-up, drop-off, or add extra time via the concierge." - Michael Cappetta Michael Cappetta Michael Cappetta is a travel writer with over 10 years of experience in journalism and television news.

"The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 to celebrate his victory at the Battle of Austerlitz. Climb the nearly 300 steps or take the elevator to the top for some of the best views of Paris, with clear vistas straight down the Champs-Élysées all the way to the Louvre. You'll need a ticket purchased online or at the entrance to go inside and up to the viewing platform, but anyone can come to admire the ornate façade for free." - Melissa Liebling-Goldberg, Julia Eskins


"A chase sequence was shot here during the night, including establishing and plate shots."

"We stopped at classic locations such as the Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Boulevard de Clichy, and Montmartre."
