It is actually huge arc in the middle of big roundabout. DO NOT try to cross the road throught to the arc as there are no lines on the road and those drivers are just crazy.

DO NOT try to cross the road throught to the arc as there are no lines on the road and those drivers are just crazy. If you want you can climb to the top of this arc for few euro and you can get nice view as you can see on my picture and you can see whole Champ's Elisee and Eifell tower. Arc is guarded with military as there is a soldier grave under it.close

The Arc is the biggest triumphal arch in the world, it was commissioned by Napoleon and contains the tomb of the unknown soldier. There is access to the arc by means of an underpass so for god's sake do not try to cross the road and there is also a lift to the obsevation deck. This is a must see and I can't stress that enough you haven't seen paris until you've seen the Arc de Triomphe.close

Although the 286 steps you have to climb to the top can become quite daunting, the climb is worth every step as the view from the top is sensational. And be sure to have a look at the traffic down below too, those Parisian drivers are insane.close
