An instantly recognizable symbol of Paris, the colossal Arc de Triomphe stands at the epicenter of Place Charles de Gaulle, where 12 of the city’s busiest avenues converge. The Napoleon-commissioned monument, adorned with high-relief sculptures depicting sword-wielding soldiers and inscribed with the names of generals and battles, commemorates French soldiers and military victories. The top of the arch, accessible via 284 steps, affords superb views over all of Paris.

Worthwhile hop on and off
This hop on hop off was fantastic . We got a view of all the main attractions before actually going to visit the ones that we wanted. We saved lots of money in cab fare using the 2 day pass.
