Royal Palace and Arc de Triomphe Tour

The Royal Palace (Palais-Royal) is a historic palace located in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, France, directly opposite the northern wing of the Louvre. Today, it serves as a government office building. The Royal Palace features a traditional French garden paired with black-and-white striped columns of varying heights. This striking contrast between tradition and modernity creates a unique aesthetic that has turned it into a popular spot for social media photos. Inside the palace, the rose garden is in full bloom, offering a breathtaking view of roses 🌹. The Arc de Triomphe is situated at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. It was commissioned by Napoleon after his victory over the Russian and Austrian forces. If you visit at the right time, you can enjoy performances by the royal band and witness the flag-raising and lowering ceremonies. For this Paris trip, I purchased a "Navigo Découverte Pass" weekly card (valid from Monday to Sunday) to explore all of Paris freely!
