What you need to know
- Stairs only for now: the elevator has been out of service since late July 2026, so reaching the terrace means 284 steps until it returns in 2027
- Strollers stay downstairs with the entrance staff, who hand them back after your visit, so bring a carrier for babies
- Enter by the underground passage: the Passage du Souvenir starts at the top of the Champs-Élysées and on Avenue de la Grande-Armée, so nobody crosses the traffic circle
About
The Arc de Triomphe stands at the top of the Champs-Élysées, in the middle of Place de l'Étoile. Kids climb 284 steps inside the arch to a rooftop terrace that looks down the avenues to the Eiffel Tower.
Under the arch are the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and its flame, framed by huge sculpted groups on the pillars. The climb suits kids who can handle a long staircase.
