Panoramic View

Everything you need to know
about Montparnasse Tower

The local joke is that Montparnasse Tower has the best view in Paris — because it's the only place where you can't see Montparnasse Tower. But behind the joke is a genuine truth: at 210 metres, this is the only high vantage point in the city that includes the Eiffel Tower in its panoramic view, making it the most complete perspective over Paris you can find.

The observation terrace on the 56th floor offers a full 360° view — at night, a carpet of city lights stretching to the horizon. The 59th floor rooftop terrace is open-air and extraordinary in summer. Add in a champagne bar on the observation floor and sunset photography sessions, and this becomes one of the most memorable experiences in Paris.
