Etoile. Charles de Gaulle, that's the station for the Arc de triomphe. Line 1 i think, yellow, blue (2) and don't remember which other one. Hope it helps

Quoting SQNo1 (Reply 3): You wouldn't think a station with that name would be the nearest!
Well, considering the station is right at Etoile, it does make sense. If you want to take a little stroll, you could always get off at Franklin D. Rosevelt and walk up to the Arc.
Quoting KLM685 (Reply 4): And Arc de triumphe looks like a star from above, around 12 avenues arriving in the same point.
Well, the Arc is not really the one that looks like a star, but the streets that meet up there

Yep, the Arc de Triomphe is located at Place de l'Etoile, hence the name "Charles de Gaulle-Etoile". Anyway everything in France is called Charles De Gaulle, so...
