The Night of Paris, A Moment of Ecstasy

🌉 The Night of Paris, A Moment of Ecstasy
- Eiffel Tower Night View from the Arc de Triomphe Lounge -

Paris at night is even more intense than during the day. Among the many views, the night scenery of the Eiffel Tower seen from the top of the Arc de Triomphe, at the lounge terrace (Terrasse de l'Arc de Triomphe), is undoubtedly the best.

This is not your typical rooftop; it’s the pinnacle where you can truly overlook Paris. From the lights of the city stretching beyond the Champs-Élysées to the sparkling light show of the Eiffel Tower every half hour, this spot offers a breathtaking view.

🏛 Why You Should Go Up the Arc de Triomphe
While the Arc de Triomphe is beautiful during the day, there’s a saying that you haven’t truly seen Paris until you’ve been up there at night.

Upon reaching the lounge, you’ll be greeted by the 360-degree view of Paris: the 12 radiating streets, the Eiffel Tower standing proudly at the center, and the dazzling nightscape of the city. On clear days, you can even see as far as Montmartre Hill.

💡 Tips for Enjoying the Night View
- Time your visit to catch the Eiffel Tower’s sparkling light show (every hour on the hour for 5 minutes).
- The lights are most beautiful between 10 PM and 11 PM.
- Book tickets online in advance to avoid long queues.
- Free entry with the European Museum Pass.

For those who travel with a sense of emotion, moments like these are unforgettable: standing atop the Arc de Triomphe with a gentle breeze, taking photos with the sparkling Eiffel Tower in the background, and gazing down at the quiet Champs-Élysées after the daytime hustle and bustle has faded.

This is why it’s impossible not to fall in love with Paris.
