Peak season coincides with summer holidays when tourists flood Paris, creating long queues at the Arc de Triomphe, especially during sunset hours for panoramic city views. Winter months offer a more peaceful experience with shorter wait times, though Christmas and New Year's Eve bring brief spikes in visitors due to the spectacular holiday decorations and celebrations on the Champs-Élysées.
