Explore Paris from one of the best viewing spots with a visit to the Arc de Triomphe, followed by a 1 hour sightseeing cruise tour past some of the Paris city's most iconic landmarks along the Seine River.

Climb to the top of the Arc de Triomphe for panoramic views of Paris from its 50-meter-high viewing platform. The ascent includes 284 steps, and the reward at the top is a sweeping perspective over the city’s most famous avenues and landmarks.

At the base of the monument, visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and witness the daily rekindling of the eternal flame at 18:30, a symbolic tribute to fallen soldiers and an important Paris tradition.

Commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 and completed in 1836, the Arc de Triomphe was designed by Jean-François Chalgrin and remains one of Paris’s most iconic monuments, inspired by Roman triumphal architecture but built on a grander scale.

After your visit, enjoy a relaxing 1-hour Seine River cruise. Sail along the UNESCO-listed riverbanks and admire landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Musée d’Orsay, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and Les Invalides, along with Paris’s historic bridges and riverside life.

With flexible boarding during operating hours, this experience offers a simple and scenic way to discover Paris from both above and on the water.
