The Arc de Triomphe is located at the end of the Champs-Elysees in the Place Charles de Gaulle. It was designed in 1806 by architect Jean Chalgrin. It sits on a roundabout with 12 exits, like the centre of a clock face.

The name gives away what the monument is, an arc. It stands over 51 metres in height and is 45 metres wide. It is a giant 3D rectangle with an arc carved out in the middle.

Treck To The Top of The Triomphe!

Advantages: Great Views, Free for Under 25's, Historically Interesting
Disadvantages: 284 Stairs to the top!

...a visit to the beautiful Arc De Triomphe. The Arc De Triomphe is located on the Champs Elysees which is the large main avenue in Paris, very famous for its beauty and array for designer shops. To be honest I didn’t think too much of it, but it was pleasant enough. The Arc is actually situated in the centre of “Place de l'Etoile” which is a large 12 exit roundabout. It’s very busy and the roads aren’t marked so it’s an accident hotspot, but very ...
...close. Once underneath the Arc you get a real feel for the size and beauty of the immense structure. You are able to walk below and admire the many names and tributes. There are the names of 660 French generals, Shields depicting the names of Napoleonic battles that have been won and the “tomb of the unknown solider” which is a flame that is kept burning all day to honour symbolically everyone who fell in battle. It’s a lovely location and the ...

Simply Triumphant

Advantages: Less crowded than the Eiffel Tower, Great Views
Disadvantages: Thirsty Work, not

...this review is about the Arc de Triomphe, so I will stop rambling now. The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 after his victory in Austerlitz, regarded as his greatest victory of all time and destroyed the armies of enemies Russia and Austria. The arc was not finished until 1836, after Napoleon's reign had finished and indeed after his death in 1821. The structure was designed by Jean François Thérèse Chalgrin and completed during ...
...in all directions. Accessing the Arc de Triomphe is easy and you can get there by the Metro (routes 1, 2, 6), RER (line 1) or bus 73. Once you get off the public transport do not stay for long up top. DO NOT try to cross the road! The safest way of getting to the actual Arc is through the subway found on the north of the Champs Elysés. You will find a ticket office in the subway also where you can buy a ticket for inside the Arc. Tickets cost around ...

Arc du Triomphe - nice view

Advantages: quite cheap, panoramic views of Paris, interesting attraction
Disadvantages: v.busy,

...views over Paris and the Arc de Triomphe is no exception. It is one of the most famous monuments in Paris and fronts many postcards. The Arc de Triomphe is at the western end of the Champs-Elysees; a sight in itself. The arch is a tribute of respect to those that have fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic wars. It was designed by Jean Chalgrin in 1806; his work was taken on by Huyon in 1811 when Chalgrin sadly died. However, the monument ...
...Arc stands at 165ft tall, 148ft wide and 72ft deep, the design inspred by the Roman Arch of Titus. It has been unchanged for many years now but has to be occasionally jet washed to remove dirt and discolouration. Visitor access is via a pedestrian tunnel which goes under the dangerous roundabout. Once inside the Arc de Triomphe you are left with a choice - do you walk the 284 steps to the top or do you get the lift and walk just the final 46. Being ...

The Eiffel Tower isn't the only landmark in Paris

Advantages: Spectacular monument in central Paris
Disadvantages: None

...the Champs Elysées sits the Arc de Triomphe, a wonderful archway built to commemorate Napoleon's Grand Armée. I had visited Paris on several occasions in the past and, despite having visited the Arc before, my trip in September was the first time that I had been to the top of this marvellous structure. For just 8€, or 6.20€ for under 25's, you can climb to the top of this 50m high structure to get some impressive views across the city. You can see ...
...the Grande Arche. The arc is situated in the centre of a roundabout from which 12 roads feed onto it making it probably one of the world's most dangerous stretches of road. To make it to the centre safely use the subway under the road, but for possible comedic value, visit the arc in rush hour and watch the mayhem that ensues below (I will upload photos as soon as I turn green!). In addition to the benefits of watching rush hour unfold beneath ...

Formal elegance

Advantages: Elegant, upmarket and nice rooms
Disadvantages: Pricey and could be too formal for some

I have recently been to Paris as many people who read a lot of my reviews will know and another hotel that I saw whilst there was the Sofitel Arc De Triomphe. This hotel was another one of my favourites due to the nice standard although I did prefer the sister hotel Sofitel Le Faubourg out of the two. The hotel: As I am sure is obvious by now from my opening statement the hotel is part of the Sofitel chain. It is classed as a 4 star luxury hotel and is certainly fair to say it is. The hotel is more of a classic luxury type rather than modern luxury by the way it is designed and the style of the rooms. Location: The hotel is located pretty close to the Arc De Triomphe which I'm sure is obvious by the name but, I thought it might be worth mentioning that this is indeed the case, as with so many hotels nowadays the name can ...

Review of Quality Hotel Pierre - Arc de Triomphe, Paris

One night in Paris Hilton is enough for any man !!

Advantages: It's the height of fashion daaahhhling
Disadvantages: It's ability to be tres expensive

It's no secret that I like expensive things, so when my partner told me we were going to Paris for a weekend, I was beside myself with excitement and worry. Ok, with a destination such as Paris you can't really go wrong, but when you've got a partner like mine, the choice of hotel can leave a lot to be desired. (Like the time we went to Thailand and he thought it would be great to live in a hut for a week with the local wildlife. Not funny) However, he decided he would keep it a secret until we arrived. As we drove along Rue de Coucelles, it became very apparent that he had made the correct choice. A massive "Hilton" sign appeared in view, and my excitement trebelled. It is a very massive and inspiring building, spanning 7 floors of sheer opulence. The Arc de Triomphe is a stonesthrow away from the hotel lobby, and it truly ...
