Musée de l’Arc de Triomphe

January 25th, 2008

The elevator doesn’t always work properly and you’ll probably have to climb the Arc’s 230 steps to visit the large room which passes for the museum. Equipped with an audiovisual presentation, it features documents, archives, photographs and paintings that pertain to the Arc de Triomphe’s history.
