About
Hurtige fakta: Fra toppen får du en svimlende udsigt over paradeklædte boulevarder, og i buens skygge ligger en evig flamme som hyldest til de ukendte faldne. Indvendigt er der mere end 600 indgraverede navne og store fortællende skulpturer, så historien føles håndgribelig når du går rundt.
Højdepunkter: Vidste du, at der under buen ligger en grav for den ukendte soldat fra 1921, og at flammen ved graven har været genantændt hver aften siden 1923, ofte omkring kl. 18:30, i små ceremonier af veteranforeninger? Hvis du tager de 284 trin op gennem den smalle trappe, mærker du duften af støv og kolde sten og belønnes med et panorama over 12 radiære boulevarder, der får byen til at ligne en perfekt stjerneformet komposition.
Insider tips
- Use the underground pedestrian passages to reach the arch safely, do not attempt to cross the roundabout on foot.
- Expect about 280 narrow steps to the viewing platform, wear sturdy shoes and take breaks if needed.
- Arrive at opening for quiet photos or at sunset for dramatic light down the Champs-Élysées.
- Travel light for faster security checks and note that lines form quickly on weekends and holidays.
