Arc de Triomphe elevator entrance
 
Four years ago, I found the elevator entrance to the Arc de Triomphe. Does anyone know how to locate it? I have The Paris Museum Pass. Where is the admission/ticket office? Thank you!

It's at the base near the ticket window but it has been out of service for a while.

It has a handicapped symbol on it.

Thank you both. Am sorry to hear the elevator is out of service.

It's towards the back of the arch-We used it at the end of May! We just got on it and the elevstor operator never questioned us. Once you get off, it's not quite the top-there are quite a few steep steps to go up-couldn't understand how a haniccapped person could handle them.
What a view at night when the Eiffel tower lights up I believe at 10pm.

I used it on June 25. Tell the people at the ticket booth you need the elevator and they will be happy to point the way.
