Completed in 1836 AD, the Arc De Triomphe is easily one of the best, and most popular, monuments to explore in Paris. The Arc was constructed to honor those who died during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars.
If you’re feeling adventurous, and looking for a great work out, climb the 284 steps like I did to see a breathtaking 360 degree view of Paris; trust me, you won’t be disappointed. You can access the top of the Arc by purchasing tickets here.
Make sure you wear multiple layers if you decide on going during the winter, as it’s freezing up top!
