Welcome Cocktail
The welcome cocktail will be hosted on at the top of La Grande Arche. With a spectacular view of Paris, the Arch lies in a direct line with the Arc du Triomphe, the Champs-Elysees and the Louvre. You can also see the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse Tower.
You access the top of the arch from glass elevators go up through the Arch itself (actually, a giant open cube). At the top is a computer exhibition, featuring machines dating back to the early 20th century and running through a history of computing. A new arm covering the history of the Internet will be installed in time for the meeting.
