About
Datos rápidos: Desde la terraza se aprecian doce avenidas que irradian como los rayos de una estrella, una vista que transforma la ciudad en un tablero urbano. La llama del Soldado Desconocido se reenciende todas las noches, un ritual sobrio que congrega a locales y turistas por igual.
Destacados: Si subes los 284 escalones hasta la terraza, el zumbido de 12 avenidas que confluyen en estrella te abraza y los bajorrelieves de François Rude, especialmente La Marseillaise, parecen cobrar vida con la luz dorada del atardecer. Debajo del arco arde una llama eterna desde 1923 en la tumba del soldado desconocido, veteranos la reavivan cada tarde en una ceremonia silenciosa que logra detener el tráfico y el tiempo.
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.
