Terrasse de l'Arc de triomphe, Observation deck at Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France.
The rooftop terrace of the Arc de Triomphe provides a complete 360-degree panorama of Paris, featuring views of the Eiffel Tower and twelve radiating avenues.
Napoleon Bonaparte commissioned the construction of the Arc de Triomphe in 1806, and visitors now climb the same 284 steps that soldiers once ascended.
The observation platform serves as a meeting point where visitors from different countries gather to observe both modern and historical sections of Paris.
Digital information screens on the terrace explain the history and details of over 20 visible monuments across the Parisian skyline.
The terrace underwent renovations in 2022, incorporating new educational elements while maintaining the original spiral staircase structure from 1836.
