FamxplorArc de Triomphe
What to expect
The Arc de Triomphe is a famous monument in Paris, France, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées at the centre of Place Charles de Gaulle. It honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. The monument is 50 meters high, 45 meters wide, and 22 meters deep, and its large vault is 29.19 meters high and 14.62 meters wide. Visitors can take a guided tour of the Arc de Triomphe, which includes a fascinating tour of the monument, from the history of the sculpted groups to the incomparable view from the terrace. The Arc de Triomphe also offers an observation deck with a great view of the city, and a small museum with interactive exhibits on the history of the arch. Beneath the arch lies France's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and a flame of remembrance is rekindled each evening
