About
クイックファクト: 石造りの巨大なアーチ上からは、放射状に伸びる大通りが星形のように広がるパノラマを見下ろせ、風に混じる車の音が小さく響く。精巧な浮彫は戦闘や行進の緊張を伝え、内部には無名戦士の墓と永遠の火がいつも灯されているのが印象的だ。
ハイライト: 夜になると、碑の下にある無名戦士の墓で1923年から灯り続ける永遠の炎が毎晩18時30分に退役軍人たちによって再点火される光景が、煤の匂いと低い祈りの声で不思議なほど厳かな空気を作るよ。284段の階段を上がって高さ約50メートルの展望台に立つと、12本の放射状の大通りが星のように広がる眺めが真昼の石と金属の熱で目がくらむほど鮮烈で、風に混じる排気の匂いまで鮮明に感じられるよ。
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.
