The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, just below the Arc de Triomphe, was inaugurated after World War I, remembering the soldiers and service members who went missing or died fighting the war. The eternal flame on this tomb has burned for over 100 years and is rekindled every evening.

Francois Rude's 'La Marseillaise' or 'The Departure of the Volunteers of 1792' is one the most well-known allegorical sculptures at the Arc de Triomphe, featuring Marianne, the iconic French woman who urged people to join the battle.

At the end of the 284 steps, the observation deck at the top of the Arc de Triomphe provides breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower, the Sacre Coeur, and the Louvre Museum.

Home to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Napoleon's Arc de Triomphe is the second-largest arch in the world and honors fallen soldiers. Admire the intricate architecture and sculptures and end your visit with a panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower and Louvre.

The construction of Arc de Triomphe took over 30 years and various architects due to political changes and funding issues.

The Arc de Triomphe is the second-largest triumphal arch in the world and was the largest until 1982 before The Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang, North Korea was built.

Although commissioned by Emperor Napoleon, he never had the chance to see the Arch completed as the project continued for 15 years after his death. However, his body was later moved to the arch in 1850.

In 1919, Charles Godefroy, a French Aviator, flew a Nieuport fighter plane through the arch to salute all the airmen killed in the war.

Each of the four pillars showcase individual sculptural works by three different designers, namely, François Rude, Jean-Pierre Cortot, and Antoine Étex.

The triumphal arch is wheelchair-friendly and the museum can be accessed by an elevator. However, rooftop access is restricted to wheelchair users.
