Get your glutes and hamstrings ready!
The stairs are definitely for able-bodied people only- probably the equivalent of 10 flights - on a narrowish circular staircase… but the views from the top deck are fantastic and worth it! Booking a slot is definitely the way to go, and be sure to leave enough time to cross under the traffic from the top of Champs Élysées. It is a great activity w kids - I had a teen and a tween who loved it!

Amazing time at the Arc de triomphe
A beautiful experience! Be prepared for climbing many steps, but it's totally worth it! Best views of all of Paris!

Two "Must Dos" in Paris.
I was with our family of 8 and we thoroughly enjoyed the view from the top of the Arch ... beautiful. It was very cold that day but that didn't stop us. In case of mobility issues there is an elevator. The night cruise on the Seine was just as beautiful. I had not ideas there were so many bridges across the Seine. I highly recommend.

One of the best views of Paris!
I loved the whole experience, I went as soon as it opened on the Saturday and didn't have to queue... went straight in and enjoyed the visit very much! The views are fantastic and you can take great photos! Just bear in mind that you have lots of steps to go up (and down!)
Arc de Triomphe
Use the pedestrian underpasses beneath Place Charles de Gaulle to reach the arch. Do not attempt to cross the roundabout—Paris’ busiest traffic circle—on foot.
The viewing terrace is not wheelchair-accessible. An elevator goes part way up the arch, but visitors must still climb 46 steps to access the top.
Arc de Triomphe tickets are for timed entry.
Book skip-the-line tickets in advance to beat the crowds.
Be sure to bring a camera to capture the Parisian skyline.
