“My husband is a cyclist and watches the Tour de France every year. It was his dream to visit the Arc and this activity made it very easy! The staff were great to help me with taking the elevator while he took the stairs. The views were amazing and the historical information was very interesting. The tomb of the unknown soldier was a poignant reminder of what so many have given in service to their countries. We enjoyed the boat ride on the Seine - it gave us a chance to see things we wouldn't have otherwise had time to enjoy.”
