Description :
Built in 1989 to mark the bicentenary of the French Revolution, the Grande Arche is a huge marble-and-glass-clad concrete monument weighing over 300,000 tons...
The roof is 110m high and has a panoramic viewpoint offering a magnificent vista of the historic axis extending from the Arc de Triomphe to the Louvre.
Take a thrilling ride up to the 35th floor in one of the four panoramic glass lifts to enjoy the superb view.
There are also six different organised tours starting from here for a thorough exploration of the roof, the arch and the surrounding district of La Défense.

The roof is definitely closed for security reasons since april 2010.
Inaugurated 14 July 1989, the Grande Arche, built on the historical axis of Paris, was part of the policy of great works by President François Mitterand.
The roof was officially closed to the public in April 2010 following problems with the lifts.
The premises are to be converted into offices.
Ascend 110 metres in the panoramic glass lifts, unique in the world. From the panoramic viewpoint, visitors can admire the east of Paris including the Stade de France and Mont Valérien and also the Seine, the Sacré Coeur, the Arc de Triomphe (on the historical axis), and the Eiffel Tower - Montparnasse Tower axis, not forgetting the business district.
The roof of the Grande Arche hosted the Musée de l'informatique (opened in April 2001), the Musée de jeu video (opened April 14 2010) and a gastronomic restaurant.
