Presentation

The Centre des Monuments Nationaux's activities for social groups are developed throughout the year, in particular through its involvement in the "Living Together" mission, a partnership with the Cultures du Cœur association and annual participation in the national event Les Portes du Temps, which became C'est mon Patrimoine! in 2017.

In addition to these initiatives, the Arc de Triomphe is also involved in partnerships with other national organisations working to help people in social difficulty.

The visit offer

The Arc de Triomphe offers tours and activities tailored to specific audiences and is ready to welcome visitors from all backgrounds, offering various forms of mediation to help them get the most out of their visit.

Awareness-raising visits

We regularly organise free awareness-raising visits for social workers. These visits enable you to prepare for the self-guided tour and return with your group, while discovering the themes of our conference visits and workshops, which can be held at the monument or off-site at your facility.

As part of the Mission Vivre Ensemble programme, the next awareness-raising visit for social workers will take place in September 2024, date to be announced.

Self-guided tours

Discover the monument at your own pace! The Arc de Triomphe welcomes you and your group for self-guided tours all year round.

Educational activities

Would you like to take part in a lecture tour or workshop ? The cultural and educational service teams are on hand to suggest an activity or to build a project together, within the monument or outside the walls at your facility.

The Rekindling of the Flame Ceremony

Since 11 November 1923, the Flame of Remembrance has been rekindled every evening at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier by the Flame Committee under the Arc de Triomphe. This ceremony pays tribute to all the servicemen who lost their lives on the field of honour during the First World War for France, as well as during subsequent conflicts.

Would you like to attend or take part in the rekindling of the flame with your beneficiaries?
