Montparnasse Tower
The typical Parisian itinerary may only include the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Elysees, and the Eiffel Tower. But there is one landmark in the City of Lights that has been both interesting and controversial, Montparnasse Tower.
At 210 meters, the building towers over Paris’ skyline, although locals love to call it the ugliest building in the city because of its odd façade against the intricately designed structures around Paris.
But a 38-second elevator ride will take you to the 56th floor where the indoor observatory is located and you’ll see sweeping views of the City of Lights. If you want to go higher, you can hike up the stairs to the 59th floor where an open-air terrace and Champagne bar offers the perfect place to relax and enjoy a glass of bubbly while admiring Paris up top.
Montparnasse Tower offers a 360-degree view of the city with 40-kilometer visibility on clear days, making it worth the visit and the hike.
So, if you’re traveling to Paris for your holiday, make sure to include Montparnasse Tower on your bucket list. You can even book a table at Le Ciel de Paris to enjoy world-class offerings from Chef Christophe Marchais with the view of the city as your background. Call La Vacanza to book a tour today!
