Full description

Tour Montparnasse is the one tall building in central Paris, which is exactly why its view is so good: you’re looking at the Eiffel Tower, the Invalides and Sacré-Cœur rather than standing on top of one of them. A fast lift takes you to the indoor observatory on the 56th floor, with information panels to help you pick out the landmarks.

A few flights of stairs lead to the rooftop terrace, open to the sky and ideal for photos. Sunset and after-dark visits are especially popular, when the Eiffel Tower lights up on the hour.
