Review of Arc de Triomphe by Pomcamgirl

Advantages: Good view...
Disadvantages: ...but not the best

...famous sights in Paris: the Arc de Triomphe. It was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 in order to commemorate his victories, but wasn't finished until 1836. It is 50 meters tall and 45 meters wide. I always thought the Arc de Triomphe was nice to look at, but I had never bothered visited it… until last summer. I had taken my boyfriend with me to show him around Paris, as he had never been to France before. I took him to see all the famous places ... Read review

Simply Triumphant
Review of Arc de Triomphe by josarah

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 ...

Arc du Triomphe - nice view
Review of Arc de Triomphe by beanie8844

Advantages: quite cheap, panoramic views of Paris, interesting attraction

The Eiffel Tower isn't the only landmark in Paris
Review of Arc de Triomphe by StereoMike1983

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 ... Read review

Review of Arc de Triomphe by katie22008m

...a hilton etc Disadvantages: long walk The Arc de Triomphe is definatly one piece of architecture in Paris that you must see. Located at the end of the champs elysees with dimensions of 165ft (51m) high - 148ft (45) wide,it is definately very impressive looking, especially at night. There is a museum inside the arc de triomphe and from here you get a beautiful view of paris - showing you along the twelve streets. History-The Arc de Triomphe ... Read review
