GRANDE ARCHE

The Grande Arche was built in 1989 to celebrate 200 years since the French Revolution in 1789. You can pay to take a glass lift to enjoy the views from the top of the building (height: 110m). There is a cafe, a small art museum and a cinema showing a film about the monument's construction.
