Address

The monument sits at the top of the Champs-Élysées, connecting to major Paris landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Trocadéro.

Best Ways to Get There

The Charles de Gaulle–Étoile station is directly beneath the monument and connects with Lines 1, 2, and 6, as well as RER Line A.

Line 1 links to major stops like the Louvre, Tuileries, and La Défense.

Line 2 serves Montmartre, Pigalle, and Père Lachaise.

Line 6 offers scenic views as it travels above ground between Trocadéro and Nation.

Once you exit the station, follow the underground pedestrian passage marked “Arc de Triomphe” to reach the entrance safely—crossing the roundabout above ground is not permitted.

Several bus lines stop nearby, including 22, 30, 31, 52, 73, 92, and 341. These routes connect key Paris districts, making the Arc de Triomphe a convenient stop during a day of sightseeing.

Paris’s public bike-sharing system, Vélib’, has multiple docking stations close to the monument. Cycling along the Champs-Élysées or Avenue Kléber offers a uniquely Parisian way to arrive, though you’ll need to park before reaching the busy roundabout.

Taxis and ride-share services such as Uber or Bolt can drop you off at one of the twelve avenues surrounding the Arc, most commonly Avenue de la Grande Armée or Avenue Kléber. From there, it’s a short walk via the underground passage.
