Arc de Triomphe Hosted Entry & Gourmet Macaron Tasting at Pl. Clemenceau

Arc de Triomphe Hosted Entry & Gourmet Macaron Tasting

This Paris tour combines two quintessential Parisian experiences: exploring the legendary Arc de Triomphe and savouring authentic macarons at Ladurée. Your English-speaking guide meets you at Place Clemenceau to begin a 1.8km walk down the famous Champs-Élysées, sharing stories of its transformation from royal promenade to the world's most celebrated avenue.

Along the way, you'll pass luxury boutiques including Louis Vuitton, Dior and Cartier, while learning about landmarks such as the Petit Palais with its Beaux-Arts architecture, the ornate Grand Palais and the elegant Pont Alexandre III bridge. The highlight comes at Ladurée, where you'll taste their famous macarons whilst discovering the history of this legendary patisserie.

Your experience culminates at the Arc de Triomphe, where your guide provides historical context before handing over your skip-the-line tickets. Climb 242 steps to the rooftop terrace for 360° panoramic views across Paris, from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre. You can also visit the small museum inside and pay respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with its eternal flame.
