Arc de Triomphe in Paris #travelinspiration

🇫🇷✨ Standing tall at the heart of Paris, the Arc de Triomphe isn’t just a photo spot — it’s a symbol of French pride, history, and unity.

Commissioned by Napoleon in 1806 after his victory at Austerlitz, this iconic arch honors those who fought and died during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Inscribed on its walls: the names of generals and major battles. Beneath it burns the eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, relit every evening at 6:30 PM. 🔥

🚶 Tip: Skip the elevator and climb the 284 steps to the top. The reward? A 360° view of Paris, with the Champs-Élysées stretching beneath you and the Eiffel Tower just a glance away. Best time to go? Sunset. 🌇

📍 Where: Place Charles de Gaulle
🕐 When: Open daily, with extended hours in summer
