Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingFor a quieter visit in summer, choose lunchtime or the evening opening period; Arc de Triomphe’s official family guidance recommends these windows. From April through September, it opens Wednesday to Monday at 10:00 and Tuesday at 11:00, closing at 23:00; from October through March, it closes at 22:30, with last admission 45 minutes earlier.
EntranceEnter through the Passage du Souvenir, the pedestrian tunnel reached from the top of the Champs-Élysées or Avenue de la Grande-Armée. You cannot cross Place Charles de Gaulle on foot. Bring your e-ticket to the forecourt access-control point; security checks still apply. Visitors with reduced mobility should use the Grande-Armée-side drop-off point and ask staff for assistance.
PriceThe available Arc de Triomphe ticket is listed at €16, with limited availability. No official benchmark price is provided here, so check the final checkout total, cancellation terms, and inclusions before paying.
DiscountsFree-admission categories include children under 18 and EU/EEA visitors under 26, subject to the applicable proof and group exceptions. Visitors with disabilities and one companion can receive free admission with valid proof; the official accessibility page says they can present themselves at the ticket office without booking in advance for priority access. Groups must follow the official group-booking process, so check the current requirements before travelling.
Planning your visit
Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, also known as the Triumphal Arch, commemorates France’s military history under Napoleon Bonaparte, including the Battle of Austerlitz and the Napoleonic Wars. Architect Jean-François Chalgrin designed the monument, whose sculptural programme includes the La Marseillaise relief.
Inside, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier lies beneath the arch beside the Eternal Flame. The public flame rekindling ceremony takes place every evening at 6:30 p.m.; individuals may watch it but cannot take part in the ceremony. A guided tour adds historical context before the climb to the rooftop terrace, where panoramic views of Paris extend along the Champs-Élysées and beyond.
The monument stands on Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly Place de l'Étoile, and the pedestrian entrance is the Passage du Souvenir from the Champs-Élysées or Avenue de la Grande-Armée. Charles de Gaulle – Étoile metro station serves lines 1, 2 and 6, while RER A reaches the same station. Opening hours run from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. in high season, with Tuesdays opening at 11 a.m.; in the low season, closing is 10:30 p.m., with Tuesdays again opening at 11 a.m. Last admission is 45 minutes before closing.
Paris Museum Pass holders have access without reservation according to the pass information. The terrace requires 284 steps, although a lift is available for visitors who need it. Skip-the-line tickets do not remove the security check, bags must be no larger than 40x40x20 cm, and pushchairs are left with access-control staff during the visit.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- All visitors must pass the Arc de Triomphe security checkpoint; a partner ticket does not guarantee that security screening can be skipped.
- Bags are limited to 40 × 40 × 20 cm, and there is no luggage-storage facility at Arc de Triomphe, so oversized bags may prevent entry.
- Selfie sticks, tripods, scooters, rollerblades, sharp objects, glass bottles, weapons and flags or banners are prohibited and can delay or block admission.
- Pushchairs are not allowed inside Arc de Triomphe; they may be left with access-control staff and collected after the visit.
- Reaching the terrace normally involves 284 steps; elevator access is reserved for visitors who need it and does not replace general access planning.
- Official ceremonies or adverse weather can cause partial or full exceptional closures, even when a ticket has been purchased.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Can I use a mobile ticket at Arc de Triomphe, and do I need a time slot?
Present a readable e-ticket on your smartphone if your seller issues one. Use the date or time printed on the voucher; if no time slot is shown, confirm the entry instructions with the seller before travelling.
Can I cancel my Arc de Triomphe ticket or get a refund?
Do not assume cancellation or refunds are included. The GetYourGuide listing for "Paris: Arc de Triomphe Rooftop Tickets" does not state a cancellation policy here, so use the terms shown before payment and keep the final confirmation.
Should I buy from the official site or a partner?
Buy through the official channel when you need to check eligibility for free admission or venue-specific booking instructions. A partner option can be useful when its voucher format or availability suits your plans; the listed GetYourGuide ticket is priced at 16 EUR and has limited availability.
What bags and items can I take into Arc de Triomphe?
Maximum luggage is 40 × 40 × 20 cm, and there is no left-luggage facility at the monument. Selfie sticks, tripods, scooters, rollerblades, sharp objects, glass bottles, weapons, flags and banners are prohibited, and all visitors should allow time for access controls.
What happens if I arrive late for my ticket?
Late-entry acceptance is not guaranteed, particularly if your voucher specifies a time. Contact the seller before travelling if you expect to miss the stated arrival time, and do not rely on a ticket to override security or admission controls.
Who can visit Arc de Triomphe for free or at a reduced rate?
Under-18s are eligible for free admission, and the venue recommends obtaining their tickets online to reduce waiting. Other free categories include eligible 18–25-year-olds, disabled visitors with one companion and certain cardholders; carry the required proof, because it may be requested.
What is the main bottleneck inside Arc de Triomphe?
The terrace is reached by 284 steps, so the climb is the main physical constraint for many visitors. A lift is intended only for visitors who need it, and accessibility arrangements should be confirmed with staff if the staircase is not suitable.
