Arc de Triomphe rooftop

The view straight down the Champs-Élysées, with the Eiffel Tower in front of you.

The rooftop terrace is one of the best views in Paris and far less crowded than the Eiffel Tower. Twelve avenues spread out from the arch like a star, which you only really see from the top.

Good to know

  • Never cross the roundabout on foot: use the underground passage from the Champs-Élysées side.
  • There are a lot of stairs to the top; a lift exists but is limited to visitors with reduced mobility.
  • It is included in the Paris Museum Pass.
