This is a fantastic gem that should be more widely publicised. The views over Paris are fantastic and better than those at the Eiffel Tower. It is located in the commercial area of Paris and perhaps not the most obvious destination but the trip is well worth it. The tower is so very quiet - there were only 4 of... more

We had pre-booked our entry ticket, but you can get a discount on the door if you have a Paris Visite card. Thought there would have been some g-force or something going up in the lift because it only takes 10 seconds to go 56 floors, how wrong was I? Smooth isn't the word, effortless yes. Loved the lcd panel... more

This was one of the highlights of our trip- amazing views. We didn't go out ont to the terrace because the weather was a bit dodgy so went to the bar on 54th floor instead. Drinks are quite pricey but worth it for the amazing views. Get there in the late evening when it's getting dark for the best views. more

I can't believe there are so little reviews on such a fantastic place! There's a lift that takes you to the 56th floor (in just 38 secs) from where you have a 360 degree view of Paris below you. You can see all the major attractions of Paris from here, including the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, Sacre... more

We have been to Paris many times and only recently realsied that one could go to the top of the Montparnasse Tower so made plans for our next trip. It was stunning! The fastest elevator in Europe is weird. There is no impression that you are even moving. My ears popped a couple of times but that was it. Once... more

Everyone must visit the Eiffel Tower - if you have time and are not scared of heights but, for ease of visit, removal of worry and 45 minutes of your time, the Montparnasse Tower is the one for you. The tower, at 209 metres (Eiffel about 300m) is the only major high rise building in the centre of Paris and... more

We visited at about 9pm there was hardly anyone else around but the views back over Paris was spectacular. The Eiffel Tower lit up was stunning as is Paris at night. A real highlight of our visit. more

A visit here is an absolute must. It knocks spots of the grotesquely touristy Eiffel Tower.Super fast lifts wisk you to the top in an instant. In addition to the large panoramic window cafe (very reasonably priced) with MAGNIFICENT views of Paris, it is possible to go onto the roof (as big as 4 tennis courts) and walk round. There... more

I took my wife to Paris just before Easter & this was the surprise attraction for us. We went onto the roof expecting it to be cold & windy, but it was so still. The views over Paris at night are amazing. Make sure that you are there at 9pm when they switch on the sparkling lights on the Eiffel... more
