Guide to the Tour Montparnasse in Paris: For Gorgeous Panoramic Scenes

Why Paris' Only True Skyscraper Is Worth a Visit

tour montparnasse almas tower key tower plus basse

Many tourists overlook the Tour Montparnasse, a rather stark glass and steel skyscraper jutting out on the horizon from the eponymous Montparnasse district in the capital's south-central 15th arrondissement/district.

Yet for those seeking fantastic panoramic views of Paris , few other vantages beat this humble tower's-- they even surpass the Eiffel Tower's . Don't make the mistake of missing out on it yourself: head to the 59th floor for dazzling 360-degree views of the whole city. 

Visiting the Tower: Key Facts and Highlights

The 689-foot tower, considered Paris' only real skyscraper, was built in 1970 as part of efforts by then-French President Georges Pompidou to modernize the city and its infrastructures. It was, as so many other now-famous monuments in the city (including the Eiffel Tower) decried as an eyesore on the city, and no other skyscrapers of its stature were subsequently built within the traditional city limits.

Comprising a total of 59 floors in addition to 6 underground levels, the tower boasts an astounding 25 elevators , each serving different floors and parts of the tower. Many are extremely fast: the speediest one allows passengers to zip from the ground floor to the 56th floor in a heart-racing 38 seconds (about 19 feet per second). If you have vertigo or a fear of elevators, you might get a bit of a fright from this!

To get to the top floor and the terrace, access is by stairs only from the 56th floor . This unfortunately makes Montparnasse Tower somewhat poorly accessible to visitors with limited mobility. However, they can still enjoy the panoramic views from the 56th floor. 

Panoramic Views From The Top Deck

The 56th floor level offers 360-degree views of the entire city, so don't forget your camera! This floor also has a cafe offering light meals, as well as a gift shop.

For even more dramatic panoramic vantages over the capital, the rooftop terrace (again, sadly accessible by stairs only) is more exposed and dramatic, and is touted as the tallest spot in Paris (at 200 meters) to enjoy such sweeping perspectives. For those with a fear of heights, not to worry: the entire terrace is sheltered under a curved glass rooftop structure. 

Onsite Restaurants 

The tower houses the aforementioned cafe on the 56th floor as well as a gastronomic restaurant for formal lunch and dinner, Le Ciel de Paris. Visitors must reserve ahead for the formal restaurant: see this page for more information . 

Location and Contact Information:

The tower is easily accessible from the Montparnasse-Bienvenue  metro  station. Although it seems quite far away from central Paris, in reality it's only about a 30-minute walk (assuming you know where you're going, hopefully  with the aid of a good Paris city street map  or travel app.)

  • Address:  33, avenue du Maine, 15th arrondissement (main entrance and access to cashiers is at foot of Tower, on Rue de l'arrivee)
  • Tel:  +33 (0)1 45 38 52 56
  • Metro:  Montparnasse-Bienvenue or Raspail (Lines 4, 6, 12, or 14)
  • Visit the official website (in English)  for current ticket prices, booking online, panoramic webcam, and more. 

Opening Times and Tickets:

In high season  (April 1st through September 30th), the tower and its "Panoramic Visitors' Center" is open daily from 9:30 am to 11:30pm.  In low season  (October 1st to March 31st), the center is open Sunday to Thursday from 9:30 am to 10:30 pm; and Friday to Saturday and the evening before public holidays from 9:30 am to 11:30 pm. Please note that cashiers close 30 minutes before, so be sure to arrive in plenty of time to ensure entry.

Sights and Attractions Nearby 

Visit the tower before or after exploring the charming, decidedly un-touristy neighborhood of Montparnasse and the surrounding areas. During the 1920s and 1930s this was an intellectual and artistic hotbed that saw a foment of creativity among writers, artists, and painters including Henry Miller and Tamara de Lempicka, as well as many others. Today, it is prized for its quiet parks and cemeteries, cobbled market streets, and old-world charm. It's also home to  many excellent creperies in Paris . Main sights and attractions in close reach of the tower include:

  • Paris Catacombs Museum
  • Fondation Cartier for Contemporary Arts
  • Rue Daguerre (a charming market street)
  • Musee Bourdelle (dedicated to the French sculptor)
  • Ti Jos Creperie and Breton Pub

Last Updated:  17 April 2024

The Tour Montparnasse (Montparnasse Tower) is a high-rise building overlooking the district of Montparnasse in the 15th arrondissement and borders the 6th and 14th arrondissements. Its panoramic terrace offers one of the most beautiful views over Paris .

Description of Tour Montparnasse

The Tour Montparnasse was inaugurated in 1973 and was France’s tallest skyscraper until 2011 when the Tour First in La Défense was completed.

The tower was designed by architects Eugène Beaudouin, Urbain Cassan and Louis Hoym de Marien and built from 1969 to 1972 by Campenon Bernard on the site of the former Montparnasse railway station. Its base is an almond shape of 50 m by 32 m.

The presence of the tower in central Paris has been very controversial since its construction and has been criticised for being at odds with Paris’ skyline. Following its inauguration, the municipality ruled it impossible for buildings over seven floors high to be built in the centre of Paris (“intra-muros”).

Today, the Tour Montparnasse has become a true Parisian landmark with over 5,000 people working in the offices located in the tower.

At the foot of the tower, there is a vast shopping mall and a busy metro station connected to the Gare Montparnasse where trains head off to the French Atlantic Coast and Spain.

Dimensions of the tower

The Tour Montparnasse is one of France’s tallest skyscrapers and, as of June 2021, is ranked the 13th tallest building in the European Union.

In France, the tower is the country’s second tallest building:

  • Tour First ( La Défense ): 231 m (Antenna spire)
  • Tour Montparnasse (Paris): 210 m (Roof terrace)
  • and Tour Total ( La Défense ): 190 m

In the near future, two planned towers will overtake the height of the Tour Montparnasse:

– the two Hermitage Plaza Towers ( La Défense ): 323 m (2025?)

Fun facts about the Montparnasse Tower

  • The tower has a total of 7,200 windows,
  • The structure weighs 130,000 tons,
  • There are 6 underground levels,
  • Its foundations are 70 metres deep.

The Panoramic Terraces of Tour Montparnasse

The visit of Tour Montparnasse may seem odd when suggested to tourists but the magnificent view from the top is one of Paris’ most impressive panoramas and attracts 1,2 million visitors each year. Visitors access the 56th floor with one of Europe’s fastest lifts.

The 56th floor

The 56th floor , called the “Panoramic Floor”, allows the visitor to admire the breathtaking view protected from the wind and rain. The space is heated in the winter and air-conditioned in the summer. It is accessible from the bottom floor of the tower by one of the fastest lifts in Europe (38 seconds at speeds reaching 60km per hour). The floor features interactive terminals and quizzes on Paris, a photographic exhibition on Paris, a souvenir shop and a café.

The 59th floor

The 59th floor is actually the outdoor roof terrace which, at 210 metres high, offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of Paris. In clear weather, the view extends up to 40 kilometres from the Yvelines to Charles-de-Gaulle and Orly airports and the Eastern suburbs of Val de Marne and Seine-et-Marne.

The 59th floor is only accessible by stairs from the 56th floor.

The terrace has telescopes and interesting orientation tables that help locate the famous monuments and landmarks of Paris.

In 2011, the terrace was entirely renovated with curved panes of glass surrounding the viewing point.

The panoramic view from the roof-top terrace of the Tour Montparnasse stretches over 40 km. Most of Paris’ famous monuments and landmarks can be seen from there:

The Eiffel Tower

The great perspective leading to the Grande Arche of La Défense through the École Militaire, the Champ de Mars, the Eiffel Tower , and the Trocadéro.

The curved Unesco headquarters can also be seen to the left of the École Militaire.

The Invalids

The gilded dome of the Church at the Invalides looks like a gem in the sky of Paris…

The view reaches the Esplanade des Invalides, the Pont Alexandre III and the Petit and Grand Palais .

To the right lies the Garden of the Champs-Élysées and then the Place de la Concorde .

The Arc de Triomphe

The view of the Louvre reveals how large the palace is! It extends onwards with the famous Tuileries Garden . Behind, on top of the Montmartre Hill , a sunbeam lights up the white façade of the Sacré-Cœur basilica .

A closer look at the Samaritaine department store:

The Opéra Garnier, just above the Tuileries Garden:

Saint-Germain-des-Prés

The neighbourhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés is clearly recognisable thanks to the old bell tower of the church.

The Rue de Rennes looks like it cut Paris in half, leading to the Seine:

To the right of the rue de Rennes stands the Saint-Sulpice church:

The Luxembourg Palace

To the North-East, the view shows the Luxembourg Garden in the foreground along with the Luxembourg Palace.

Notre-Dame de Paris and Ile de la Cité

Behind lies Île de la Cité with Notre Dame de Paris . In the distance can be seen the Hôtel de Ville (City Hall of Paris).

The central districts of Paris

The latin quarter.

You’ll get a great view of the Pantheon, the Sorbonne and the Latin Quarter, particularly in the afternoon.

South-East of Paris

The view reveals the Val de Grace, Paris Observatory, the 13th arrondissement and, beyond these, the Bois de Vincennes.

The view extends beyond the hill of Montmartre with the basilica of Saint-Denis, the Stade de France, the airports of Le Bourget and Charles de Gaulle. In the far distance, you can also see the countryside!

And street life in the Montparnasse district…

From the top of the tower, the Montparnasse cemetery reveals its great size.

The railway lines that start from the Montparnasse Train Station lead to the French Atlantic Coast (Brittany, Poitou-Charentes, Pays de la Loire, Aquitaine) and Spain.

The stunning rooftops of Paris in the 7th arrondissement:

The view offers amazing sights of street life in Paris (here Boulevard du Montparnasse and Boulevard de Port-Royal)

Night Panoramic View

Visiting the roof-terrace of the Tour Montparnasse at sunset offers one of the most enchanting views over the City of Light. Little by little, the lights are lit, revealing the famous monuments of Paris.

One of the best spots to enjoy the Eiffel Tower glittering is from the top terrace of the Montparnasse Tower, aligned perfectly with the Eiffel Tower, with the skyline of La Défense in the background. The “light show” takes place every hour for ‘5 minutes précieuses’ from nightfall until 1.00 am, on the hour.

The gilded Dôme des Invalides is lit up like a gem, and behind it stretches the vast esplanade that leads to Pont Alexandre III:

At Christmas time, you can clearly see the Big Wheel at the Tuileries and Place de la Concorde, in between the two dark areas of the Champs-Élysées and the Tuileries Gardens.

The length of Rue de Rennes winds its way through the 6th arrondissement leading to the Church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. To the right, the St. Sulpice Church reveals its classical façade.

The Louvre  is seen in its entirety surmounted by the Montmartre Hill  and the Sacré-Cœur basilica .

Agree entirely! The Montparnasse Tower is an ugly blot on the landscape, but the views from the top of the tower are magnificent. I look forward to returning one day.

And make sure you climb on a sunny afternoon (the best time of the day to see all of central and eastern Paris!)

These are wonderful photos, Pierre – thank you! I always say the best thing about the Tour Montparnasse is being in it so you can’t see it! I’m going to choose a clear day when I’m in Paris to go to the top.

Merci Ellen – and choose a sunny afternoon to have the central and eastern districts of Paris in plain sight (not against-the-light)! 🙂

I’ve been there, once at day- and once at nighttime. Indeed very beautiful.

Visit the Montparnasse Tower: A Panoramic Glimpse of Paris

Visit the Montparnasse Tower: A Panoramic Glimpse of Paris

Today, I'm taking you on a tour of the Tour Montparnasse (Montparnasse Tower) and its breathtaking view of Paris. A skyscraper in the heart of one the capital's bustling districts, it offers a 360° view of the city, almost, thanks to a panoramic observatory situated around 656 feet above sea level.

Is it worth the trip? What's the history of this building and how will it undergo significant change in the upcoming years? Which landmarks can you spot when at the top? Let's delve into its history and gather some practical advice if you wish to visit: ticket prices, opening hours, access, and more.

The (controversial) construction of the Tour Montparnasse

Ascending the tour montparnasse, visiting the tour montparnasse: practical information, five things to know about the montparnasse tower.

Even today, the Montparnasse Tower stands as a debated addition to the Paris skyline... but opposition was even more pronounced when it was first constructed! A quick historical overview:

In the 1930s, the area faced challenges. The Montparnasse train station was becoming insufficient for the growing number of passengers, and many buildings in the district were in dire straits. This prompted authorities to reimagine the district's layout.

As with many grand projects, it took time to secure the ideal architects and plans. The more spacious Montparnasse station, familiar to us today, was eventually reconstructed in the late 1960s. During this period, André Malraux, the renowned writer and then-minister, greenlit the project to construct a skyscraper beside the new station.

Plans soon included a shopping mall at the tower's base to rejuvenate the district further. However, many found the tower's imposing height contentious. This tall structure "disrupted" the traditional Parisian skyline with its dark glass and concrete facade.

The Montparnasse Tower in Paris viewed from the Arc de Triomphe

Despite criticisms, the Tour Montparnasse reached impressive elevations. Construction spanned just over 3 years, including deep foundations (230 feet), a sturdy framework of 56 reinforced concrete pillars, and special accommodations for the metro line running below. Ultimately, the 59-story building ascended to approximately 686 feet. The grand opening was on June 18, 1973.

Decades later, some critics remain vocal, even if the tower has earned its place in Paris. In 2008, it was unfortunately dubbed the second ugliest building globally, following Boston's City Hall. It also ranks as France's second-tallest skyscraper, next to the Tour First in the La Défense business district.

A new face for Tour Montparnasse

The building's future looks promising as efforts are made to endear it to Parisians. A proposal by the Nouvelle AOM architectural collective was recently approved to renovate the Tour Montparnasse , ensuring it melds seamlessly with the city.

The transformative vision includes:

  • ... enhancing its green credentials with a hanging garden and an additional floor designated for an agricultural greenhouse;
  • ... modernizing it for today's environmental challenges , incorporating photovoltaic panels, rainwater harvesting, and energy-efficient windows;
  • ... refreshing its aesthetic to dispel its current grim reputation, favoring transparent glazing.

Although the renovations have been postponed, primarily due to asbestos removal needs, this project promises to reshape the Tour Montparnasse's image for years to come.

Whether you appreciate the architecture or not, one thing's undeniable: the vista from the pinnacle is a must-see! It's also a unique chance to marvel at a bird's-eye view of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower. From the Tour Montparnasse's rooftop, it takes center stage.

The Eiffel Tower and La Défense as seen from the Tour Montparnasse

Presently, the edifice functions primarily as an office building , so not all floors are open to the public.

However, for visitors eager to reach the summit, there's the elevator. The tower boasts 25 elevators, but the one destined for tourists is special—it travels directly from the ground to the 56th floor without stopping. It's swift, and you might even feel a slight pressure change during the ascent!

Its speed was curtailed in 2009 (from approximately 20 ft/s to roughly 16.5 ft/s). In a mere 38 seconds, you can ascend the tower's 56 stories. This rapid journey concludes at the Tour Montparnasse's panoramic observatory , which showcases a splendid Parisian panorama.

The Panoramic Observatory

The viewing space spans two levels:

  • The 56th floor is indoors (cozy during winter) and includes amenities like a café, fine dining restaurant, boutique, restrooms, and interactive displays. This level is wheelchair accessible;
  • The 59th floor , accessible by stairs, is an outdoor terrace. Spanning roughly 8,600 square feet, it presents an aerial view of Paris from a height of 656 feet. On a clear day, you can gaze as far as 25 miles. During summer, a rooftop bar provides the perfect spot to watch the sunset while sipping a beverage.

The 57th and 58th floors remain closed to the public.

For visitors in 2023, the terrace was inaccessible for 3 months due to the termination of the operating lease by the condominium association. After a legal challenge, the premises were permitted to reopen on July 14, 2023.

Here, the space on the 56th floor:

It's encircled by glass panels to deter any tragic incidents, and some gaps are left open for photography. There are also spyglasses available to magnify specific details of the cityscape.

So, what can you see? The tower provides an all-encompassing view of the city. Whether you visit during the day, night, or at sunset, each moment offers distinct contrasts and colors, providing opportunities to identify notable landmarks.

Here’s the Alexandre III Bridge, with the Grand Palais looming just behind:

Far off, you can spot Mont Valérien in Suresnes, a significant historical and commemorative site:

There are the eye-catching matte-gold domes of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Trinity , standing distinct amidst the more typical Parisian rooftops:

Observe the Basilique Sainte-Clotilde and, right behind it, the Assemblée Nationale (national assembly):

Spot the church of Saint-Augustin , with the Concorde obelisk and the Hôtel de Crillon making a grand appearance up front:

Here, the elevated section of the metro line 6 stands out, accompanied by the green expanse of the Avenue de Suffren:

Take a gander at the Parc André-Citroën with its soaring hot-air balloon, the Ballon de Paris. Beyond that, you can spot the "Ici c'est Paris" signs of the Parc des Princes , the iconic home of football club Paris Saint-Germain:

Laid before you is the Necker-Enfants malades hospital , a premier institution in Europe for pediatric and adolescent care:

The unmistakable Paris Observatory , can be identified by its bright white dome:

I also recommend visiting The Pantheon for the stunning views it provides of Paris when its dome is open, typically from April to October.

The Pantheon

At the Montparnasse Cemetery , you'll find the resting places of renowned figures such as Serge Gainsbourg, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, André Citroën (the namesake of the car brand), Alain Resnais, Philippe Noiret, Serge Reggiani, journalist Yves Mourousi, Maurice Pialat, Jean Poiret, and many more.

Don't miss the Jardin du Luxembourg and Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral , which is currently undergoing reconstruction!

You can also spot the Church of Saint-Sulpice :

Be sure to also see the Tour Saint Jacques and the Centre Pompidou, two other landmarks in Paris.

There's a wealth to witness. I could continue for hours, but I trust you grasp the essence: from the top of the Tour Montparnasse , nearly every iconic monument in Paris is visible. It’s an opportunity to explore the city's intricate architecture in detail — churches, distinguished structures, institutions, universities, schools. Essentially, the rich heritage of the city unfolds before you, much like an open-air museum!

Where is the Tour Montparnasse located?

The tower stands on the esplanade across from the Montparnasse train station in Paris, at 33 Avenue du Maine in the 15th arrondissement. The entrance to the "Top of the City" panoramic observatory is to the left of the building as you come out of the station.

After a security screening, you'll be directed to the elevators. So, there's no chance of getting lost!

Ticket Prices for the Top

You can reserve a ticket online in advance for $20 (or £15) per adult. Keep in mind that purchasing tickets on-site at the ticket counter will be pricier, with a $1.20 (or £0.90) surcharge added to the ticket price.

Children aged 4 to 11 can enjoy a 50% discount, while young adults aged 12 to 17 and students aged 18 to 25 are eligible for a reduced rate. Children under the age of 3 are admitted free of charge.

Overall, it's a fair price, especially considering you can stay as long as you wish!

Operating Hours of the Tower

From April 1 to September 30 , the Tower is open daily from 9:30 am and until 11:30 pm.

From October 1 to March 31 , the Tower welcomes visitors every day from 9:30 a.m., until 10:30 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, and until 11 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, the eve of public holidays and public holidays.

These extended opening hours enable visitors to enjoy the view over Paris day and night, and to witness some splendid sunsets.

Restaurants and cafés at Tour Montparnasse

The Tour Montparnasse boasts multiple dining venues:

  • A rooftop bar situated at the building's summit, operational solely during the spring and summer months;
  • 360 Café, positioned on the 56th floor, which remains open each day until 10pm;
  • Ciel de Paris, a restaurant located on the 56th floor, features exquisite culinary offerings. Feel free to browse their menu here . Among the available options is the "Grand Ecran" menu that assures a seating by a bay window, barring special event nights. Furthermore, there's a brunch/tea room package available, perfect for an affordable yet delightful experience.

A word to the wise: ensure you're adequately dressed for the cold when visiting the observatory, especially if coming during seasons other than summer. The outdoor viewing deck often encounters breezy conditions. You wouldn't want the chilly temperatures to dampen your experience!

Notre-Dame Cathedral viewed from the Tour Montparnasse

How many levels does the Tour Montparnasse comprise? It stands tall with a total of 59 levels, of which the 56th and 59th levels serve as the panoramic observatory open to visitors.

What is the Tour Montparnasse's height? The height ranges between 686-689 feet, varying based on the information source.

Who is credited with constructing the Tour Montparnasse? The Agence pour l'Opération Maine Montparnasse (AOM) managed its construction. This agency incorporated architects such as Eugène Beaudoin, Urbain Cassan, Louis de Hoÿm de Marien, and Jean Saubot.

What is the primary function of the Tour Montparnasse? While the majority of its space serves as office areas, tourists can also relish expansive views of Paris from the designated observation zones.

How much time should one allocate for a Tour Montparnasse visit? The duration is subjective to individual preferences like taking numerous photographs or indulging in a drink atop. Nevertheless, plan to spend a minimum of one hour on the premises.

Last Updated on 2nd March 2023 by Sophie Nadeau

Situated in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, the tower of Tour Montparnasse in the south of Paris takes at least a few hours to visit and offers one of the best views that the city has to offer.

Tall and might above the Parisian skyline, it’s hard to miss Montparnasse Tower rising up above all other buildings around. Here’s your guide on how to visit Tour Montparnasse rooftop terrace, as well as travel tips and things to know before you go.

Editor’s note: If you’re in a rush, then you might consider booking a Montparnasse Tower rooftop ticket here in advance .

Psst. If you’re planning to visit Paris, then we’ve created a gorgeous 100+ page eBook full of beautiful photos and insider tips by a local. Included you’ll find hidden gems, arrondissement guides, walking tours, suggested itineraries, and more. Find more information here.

Where is Tour Montparnasse located?

A history of montparnasse tower, what to know before visiting tour montparnasse, how to visit tour montparnasse, france travel information.

Tour Montparnasse is in the Montparnasse district of the city, an area which straddles the 14th and 15th arrondissements .

The closest metro station is Montparnasse-Bienvenüe, which is something of a meeting point for metro lines and can be found on the 4th, 6th, 12th, and 13th metro lines. Indeed, the station is the 4th busiest metro station in Paris.

The tower is close to a number of small boutiques, patisseries, a branch of the Galeries Lafayette chain, and Cemetery Montparnasse (which also happens to be the final resting place of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre).

Although Tour Montparnasse is often overlooked in favour of other viewpoints such as the  Arc de Triomphe  and  the Eiffel Tower , the tower remains one of the best spots in the city for viewing its many major monuments.

IMG_20160425_032500

Though I personally regard the Tour Montparnasse to be one of the ugliest buildings in Paris, it must be said that it does offer one of the most beautiful viewpoints in Paris. The tower itself was constructed in 1969 to 1973.

When it was constructed, Tour Montparnasse was the tallest building in France, and this remained the case right up until 2011 when it was surpassed by the Tour First. With this being said, Montparnasse remains the tallest skyscraper in Paris outside of the La Défense (business district) of the city.

The majority of the building is taken up by office space. There are 59 floors in total, with the touristic part of the construction taking up the upper three floors.

The 56th floor houses a restaurant called Le Ciel de Paris, while the roof has a rooftop terrace which offers a 360 degree panoramic view of the French capital.

IMG_20160424_225159

I’ve been up the tower twice (the first time I went up the tower was when I first moved to Paris and so I couldn’t really appreciate where all of the monuments were) . Both times I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of queue that iI was greeted by upon arrival.

Neither time was at all like the throngs of people queuing for tickets in the tunnel under the Arc de Triomphe or the three hour long wait to walk up the stairs of the Eiffel Tower. After purchasing tickets, you are whisked into a lift that takes just 38 seconds to reach over 50 floors up. 

The lift doors open and you are three levels (six half flights of stairs) below the viewing platform. This floor offers panoramic views over the city and is equipped with a reasonably priced cafe (2 euro for a long coffee- perfect for after you’ve nearly frozen your nose off on the rooftop viewing platform).

Although the lower level has good views, nothing compares to climbing up the concrete stairs and emerging into the open air, only to be greeted with 360 degree panoramic views of Paris. Just make sure you bring a coat as it gets pretty windy on top of the tower!

The people below look like ants and the monuments, like toys. There is nothing quite like being up high, spotting all of the Parisian monument from afar. The best time of the day to visit is definitely sunset when the light hits La Defense and the Eiffel Tower.

The Montparnasse Tower rooftop terrace is known officially as the Montparnasse Tower Panoramic Observation Deck and is open every day. With this being said, sometimes the tower is privatised and so you should be sure to check in advance before heading to the 15th arrondissement.

The Tower is open on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays : from 11am to 10:30pm, with the last climb at 10pm. Meanwhile, on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays*, Saturdays: from 11h to 23h30, with the last climb at 23h.

While the 56th floor is accessible via elevator, the rooftop terrace on the 59th floor can only be accessed on foot via a three floor climb . Purchase your Montparnasse Tower rooftop ticket here in advance .

France uses the Euro (€)

The main language spoken in France is French . Though you can get by with English is more touristic places, it’s always a good idea to learn some of the local language. Bring along a simple phrasebook like this one to help make your travels easier.

The capital of France is Paris . For more information and inspiration, check out our best Paris travel tips.

France uses plug types, types C and E. As such, if you’re travelling from the UK, USA, Canada, and many other destinations, you’ll need to buy an adapter. I recommend buying  a universal travel adapter  that you can use for multiple destinations (rather than buying a new adaptor for each place you visit).

As one of the most popular destinations in the world, you should always consider booking your accommodation well ahead of time. Check out this website for price comparison details and detailed reviews.

Be careful with your belongings. I also highly advise to avoid wearing a backpack and to instead opt for a crossbody bag  like these ones .  I personally use a crossbody bag  by this brand  and love its shape, size, and versatility.

MONTPARNASSE TOWER FACTS

Tower height and location.

The Montparnasse Tower (Tour Montparnasse in French), is a 210 meter (689 feet) high building in the center of Paris. Most sky-rises are located West of Paris, but this one stands alone in the South section, next to the Montparnasse train station. For more numbers about the tower, check out the great towers website .

Tower Structure and Purpose

Inaugurated in 1973, it is an office building where more than 5000 employees work on 53 floors. However they took advantage of the height to set up 2 viewing levels, one indoor and one outdoor to admire the Eiffel tower and all of Paris. More info about its  history on its website for tourists.  

Montparnasse Tower photo

Below is a photo of Paris from the Arc de Triomphe. You can see the Eiffel Tower to the right, and the black boring square building to the left is the tower of Montparnasse  itself - Not that great, isn't it? I must admit that it is such a boring building that I did not think of taking a better picture of it.

But the best part is the views from the Montparnasse tower observation deck (especially at sunset):

Paris View from Montparnasse Tower in photos

The views from the Tower are stunning. Contrary to the Eiffel Tower, you see bulidings from further away however you get to have the Eiffel tower in the picture :-). Below are some shots where I zoomed on some of the historical buildings of Paris. Behind the Eiffel Tower is La Défense, the business district of Paris.

Above you can see the original church of Saint Sulpice . Visit it, it is amazing and almost free of tourists!

For more photos, you can also have a look at the Wild family article about Tour Montparnasse .

Montparnasse Tower Observation Deck

During that visit I was so fascinated by the view that I forgot to take a picture of the observation deck for you.

On the Terrasse there are big glass to protect you of the wind and for safety reasons. However they have incorporated open ares between glasses for people to be able tp take proper photos. Just note that people will fight for this slots at sunset and when the lights of the Eiffel tower are turned on. So Come before and find your favorite spot to set up.

Montparnasse Tower at Sunset

On the day I took those pictures there was a lot of pollution so it was difficult to get good shots. However the sunsets was colorful and brilliant with one side in the yellows and oranges, and the other pink. On top of that the building started reflecting pinkish tones, it reminded me (just a little bit) of the sunset in Amman, Jordan .

Montparnasse Tower: Night time views

If you wait long enough, the Eiffel Tower starts displaying all its beauty with the lighting system. I starts sparkling when the sensor detect nightfall. Many people get to the Montparnasse tower at that time, so make sure to set up before.

The Montparnasse Tower is one of the best spots to photograph the Eiffel Tower .

The Ultimate Guide to Visiting Montparnasse Tower in Paris

Published by hassan bouguila on november 19, 2023 november 19, 2023, introduction:.

Discover the breathtaking views and unique experiences awaiting you when you visit the Montparnasse Tower in the heart of Paris. O fficially known as Tour Montparnasse, stands as a testament to modern architecture in the heart of Paris. Completed in 1973, this skyscraper rises 210 meters (689 feet) above the city, making it one of the tallest buildings in the French capital. It was designed by architects Eugène Beaudouin, Urbain Cassan, and Louis Hoym de Marien . It faced a resistance to its construction due to its impact on the city’s traditional skyline.

Spectacular Panoramic Views:

This tower gives you the opportunity to explore the unparalleled panoramic views of Paris from its observation deck. From its well known as 360 degrees view, you can clearly see the city’s most landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower and other distinct buildings as well, including the Panthéon, the Louvre, Notre Dame, Les Invalides, and Sacré-Cœur.

The famous 56th-floor observation deck of Montparnasse Tower is accessed via an elevator every day from 9h30 in the morning to 22h30 by night.

The 59th-floor terrace is accessed by climbing 3 floors of stairs, but the view from the 56th is pretty magnificent all on its own!

Best Time to Visit:

We truly believe that the sunset is best time to see the city from top! Seeing the Eiffel tower and the beautiful colors of the sun can be great elements for an outstanding picture or a romantic date.

Dining Options at the Tower:

A well known for a luxurious dining is the famous Ciel de Paris restaurant , with its panoramic view and a magnificent spot for a memorable fine dining night in the City of light. It is unforgiven to visit the Montparnasse tower without enjoying an evening in this fancy restaurant.

Conclusion:

Visit the Montparnasse Tower is a must when in Paris, this tower once controversial, now graces Paris’s skyline, blending modernity with historic charm. Its observation deck provides a panoramic view, inviting visitors to experience both the city’s past and present. Amid ongoing debates about redevelopment, the tower symbolizes Paris’s harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a unique perspective on the City of Light.

Montparnasse Tower

tour montparnasse almas tower key tower plus basse

The Montparnasse Tower has been claiming for a few years to have the “most beautiful view of Paris”. We do confirm that, without any doubt. The terrace on the last floor of the tower has been rearranged recently in order to receive more people and to offer them a fabulous panoramic view of the Capital.

Even if it is indeed possible to have great views over Paris from different places in town (Montmartre, Eiffel Tower, Belleville Garden), the Montparnasse Tower proposes without a doubt the most central vision, in order to distinguish precisely all main places of interest of Paris.

The greatest view of Paris…

The panoramic terrace is disposed on two floors.

  • From the first one, covered and closed, you have a great view together with displays helping you to locate the major places of interest. 
  • The second one is an outdoor terrace (at a height of more than 200m), from which you can enjoy an all-round view. And even if the panes of glass surrounding the terrace can be a little frustrating, the spot is still extraordinary. You will for example have an incomparable view of the Eiffel Tower and the Champ de Mars, the Invalides or the Tuileries Garden .

Le métro aérien

…By day or by night.

You should also know that the terrace is open every day till night (see useful informations). There is a big difference between the views during the day and at night, and we couldn’t tell you which one is best, they have both their charm all their own.

But by going there at night, when all the lights over Paris are on, you will understand why Paris is called the “city of lights”… Either way, just pick a day without any clouds in the sky (which is pretty seldom in Paris…) to visit the tower: it would be too bad if you can’t enjoy it fully.
