Before heading up the Grande Arche on the elevator, spend some time on the Promenade, an open-air space of over 1,000-square-meters (about 10764-square-feet) that offers amazing views of Paris. Relax on the impressive, white marble stairs and soak up the sun on a nice day. Then, once you're ready, take the elevator to the top of the Grande Arche to admire incredible and unique panoramic views of Paris. The restaurant serves traditional French cuisine with a modern take to surprise your taste buds. It is open from Monday to Friday, from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM.

Head to a different part of Paris and make your way through La Défense on a private tour. Find out how the first business district of Europe developed and became a place of accessible artwork, towering skyscrapers, and modern monuments. Meet your guide at the La Défense metro station and immediately be overcome by the Grande Arche and its grand, yet sleek, design. Design your tour of La Défense to suit your needs and interests with the guide before setting off. On your tour, choose to stroll down the La Défense esplanade, a modern oasis of concrete and greenery, and head towards an area that feels like an open-air gallery. Be fascinated and amused by the "Red Spider," "Car on a lamp-post" or the "Finger of Cesar" installations. Choose to modify your tour to focus more on architecture or history. Regardless of the focus of your tour, discover the essence of La Défense and its contrast to the classical notion of Paris.
