The thoughtfully curated narration guides you through the rich tapestry of events that shaped this iconic site, from its origins commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte to its completion decades later.

Experience history and architecture

As you wander around the monument, the audio guide explains the meaning behind the 660 generals and the many victories immortalized on its walls. Learn about the architectural brilliance and symmetry that make the Arc a defining feature of the Parisian cityscape. The monument’s intricate sculptures and grandiose arches represent the legacy and sacrifice of the French people.
