ARC DE TRIOMPHE

Built on the order of Napoleon I in 1806 to glorify the imperial armies , the Arc the Tiomphe was inspired by the arches of the ancient world. Over time, it has become a place of memory for the visctims of all wars and the reconciliation between nations.


Two centuries  after the first stone was laid, a contemporary scenographer retraces interactively the complex history of this monument and highlights its symbolic importance, both nationally and internationally. Major historical events are brought to life on entertainment screens and touch screens. On the top floor the terrace offers a stunning view, day and night, over the Champs Elysées, the most beautiful avenue in the world...

for your next holiday in Paris, why don't you stay in one our Paris luxury rental right on the Champs Elysées.
