Quote: The Arc de Triomphe is beautiful, especially late in the day. It is easy to get to by taking the Metro to any of the many lines that stop at the Etoile under the Arc. It is free to visit if you don't go up to the viewing deck on top. And it is... Read the full Arc de Triomphe review

Quote: The Arc de Triomphe was amazing but be careful when getting off of the subway at the stop if you go just up the stairs you will see it, but as you see it from the side you can't cross the street to go over or under it. There's another passage way... Read the full Arc de Triomphe review

Arc de Triomphe
Quote: The Arc de Triomphe is another one of those things in Paris that you have to see. Situated at the end of the Champs Elysee, the Arc is surrounded by eight rows of circular traffic, and they aren't that friendly towards pedestrians. Luckily, there... Read the full Arc de Triomphe review

Quote: The Arc de Triomphe holds significant memories for me, as it was here that I experienced the free-for-all as traffic barged its way onto the roundabout as I tried to follow our French friends through the melee of traffic. When I finally made it off... Read the full Arc de Triomphe review

Quote: Please listen to us and do not go to the Arc de Triomphe or the Champs Elysees. There is no good reason to go there unless you want to feel exactly as if you are in the middle of the Midwestern US. It’s ALL tourists. Everything is crowded, tacky,... Read the full Arc de Triomphe review

Quote: The Arc is a fascinating sight. Located in the middle of Europe's largest roundabout, it is also the site of the last stage of the Tour de France every year. That alone probably makes it second in sights only to the Eiffel Tower. The sight is... Read the full Arc de Triomphe review

Quote: Napoleon was a tiny guy, but he sure did know how to think big! The Arc de Triomphe is a huge monument that he built to honor the Grand Army and just so happens to lie at the center of a traffic hellhole. One of my favorite things about going to... Read the full Arc de Triomphe review
