Arc de Triomphe de l’Etoile Review

The Arc de Triomphe is literally so iconic! 🤩 Like, when you think of Paris, that massive arched monument comes to mind instantly. I finally got to see it in person on my Euro trip and it did NOT disappoint.The sheer size of it is just mind-blowing - it's taller than a 5 story building! 😱 You can actually climb up to the top and get 360 degree views of the entire city. The stairs are a workout but so worth it for the Insta-worthy photo ops of the Eiffel Tower and Champs-Élysées boulevard stretching out below you.But even just admiring the Arc up close is an experience. The intricate carved reliefs and names of major French victories decorating the sides are such a flex. 💪 It low-key makes you feel like you accomplished something just by being there, haha.My only complaint? Having to navigate those crazy roundabout intersections with cars zipping all around to reach it. Definitely an anxiety-inducing way to arrive! 😬 But in the end, no trip to Paris is complete without paying your respects to this supremely extra yet magnificent monument. ✨

I love France and I’ve been here more than 20 times either alone, with my boyfriend or with my family and best friend! Arc de Tripmphe fascinates me so much. The design and every detail of the Arc symbolises historically.

Visiting the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is an unforgettable experience steeped in history and grandeur. Situated in the heart of Paris at the western end of the Champs-Élysées, this monumental arch not only offers a majestic view of the bustling cityscape but also serves as a poignant tribute to those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

The second time I punched in the Arc de Triomphe, the weather was bad twice. This time I bought a ticket and went in. The queue was not long. I went in for a while. It was still a bit physical to climb the stairs. When I went downstairs, I lay on the escalator and looked down. I felt soft.

Amazing views! Full 360 of the city. Definitely worth a trip to the top and not very expensive. We paid 32 euro for a family of three, so one of the cheaper attractions. We booked in advance and avoided a huge line. Really impressed with the interior, really wasn't what we expected inside to look like. Definitely a must when visiting Paris.
