Introduction:
Discover the breathtaking views and unique experiences awaiting you when you visit the Montparnasse Tower in the heart of Paris. Officially 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.
