Great Combo-deal! Save money and Skip the Line at the Arc de Triomphe!
Whether you are coming as a couple or in a group, you'll be welcomed with a smile for your river cruise and after a short wait you'll embark at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. To learn history along the way, plug in your audio-guide and choose your language (there are 13 languages to choose from). Your guide will also provide lesser-known stories, for example the famous lovers who met in a particular town house. From bridge to bridge and bank to bank, you will be at the heart of Paris.
At your leisure, you can then visit the Arc de Triomphe. It is the centrepiece of the Place Charles de Gaulle-Etoile, from where it majestically overlooks the Champs Elysées. It was commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 in homage to French military victories. The arch was completed 30 years later during the reign of Louis Philippe (the last King of France), who dedicated the monument to the glory of the revolutionary army and the French army. It is adorned with sculptures depicting scenes from Napoleon’s epic battles.
