Paris, Day 4: Arc de Triomphe


It is a classic structure with intricate elements. There are a few imitations in the world. But Arc de Triomphe still reigns supreme because it's the details that set it apart. This one is truly original.

We climbed up to see the panoramic view of Paris. It's worth it. Up there, you see Champs-Élysées, Eiffel Tower, Sacré-Cœur and everything else. JJ used a zoom lens, he could pretty much see every monument from the top of Arc de Triomphe.

After the cultural experience, you can go straight to Champs-Élysées next to Arc de Triomphe to dine and shop.
