Official price benchmark

How do official Arc de Triomphe prices compare with partner tickets?

The official Arc de Triomphe website publishes admission prices and visitor information. We use its standard adult ticket as the baseline when comparing partner tickets and tours.

Official adult ticket from€16.00Standard adult admission, low season
Published by Arc de Triomphe
Standard adult admission, low season€16.00
Standard adult admission, high season€22.00
Good for
Independent visitors who can manage stairs: admission covers the whole monument and the rooftop terrace, and under-18s go free.
Not ideal for
Anyone who cannot climb stairs: the lift is currently out of service, so the terrace means 284 steps.

Official prices checked 22 September 2026. View the official Arc de Triomphe price source

Partner tickets and tours from€18.00Check whether this price is per person or per group.

Partner products can combine Arc de Triomphe admission with guided services, bundled access, transport or different cancellation rules. Partner prices therefore do not always represent basic admission alone.

Before you book

Arc de Triomphe ticket questions that affect what you should buy

Use these checks before choosing between official Arc de Triomphe tickets and partner products.

Should you buy Arc de Triomphe tickets from the official site or a partner?

Start with the official price and availability, then compare partner tickets only when they add something useful such as a guided tour, bundled access, better time availability or cancellation flexibility.

Do not compare a guided partner tour directly with basic official admission unless the inclusions are genuinely equivalent.

Arc de Triomphe official ticket information

What should you check before booking Arc de Triomphe?

Check the visit date, entry time, included areas, cancellation rules, meeting point and whether the ticket is self-guided, hosted or fully guided.

The cheapest listed product is not always the cheapest useful product for your visit.
