Hermosa obra de ingeniería para honrar a las victorias. Se conserva muy bonito y se puede leer casi todo ya que están en perfectas condiciones las escrituras. Un dato a resaltar como Venezolano es que se encuentra el nombre del Prócer Francisco de Miranda, Como “Miranda Valence”. También se puede acceder a la parte superior del arco, el ticket cuesta 16€ y hay que hacer una fila depende la hora o día que sea visitado. Es un monumento que vale la pena conocer por su historia

¡Icónico y energizante en mi viaje solo por París! Caminé 7km desde el Sena hasta aquí (parte de mis rutinas diarias de 20+km), subiendo los 284 escalones a la cima para vistas 360° brutales de los Champs-Élysées y la Torre Eiffel al atardecer.La tumba del Soldado Desconocido y el eterno fuego son conmovedores – perfecto para reflexionar. Entrada barata (~16€), evita el ascensor para el workout extra. Multitudes manejables temprano.Imprescindible para fotos épicas y historia viva. ¡Sube, vale cada paso! 🇫🇷🏛️

El Arco del Triunfo es un icono de la ciudad y es hermoso tanto de día como de noche. Es un monumento que representa las victorias del ejército francés con Napoleón y, en la base, impresiona ver la llama siempre encendida por los soldados no identificados. Aproveché que en invierno los primeros domingos del mes la entrada es gratuita. Hice una fila de unos 30 minutos, que valió la pena para entrar al museo donde explican toda su construcción. Lo mejor es subir a la terraza: la panorámica de París es increíble y se ve la Torre Eiffel perfectamente. Al bajar, si ya es de noche, puedes verlo todo iluminado. Es una visita indispensable
