A Local's Guide to the Best Things To Do in Montparnasse

Grand brasseries, shady boulevards and offbeat galleries have made Montparnasse a magnet for artists and gourmands since the days of Oscar Wilde and Pablo Picasso. These days, it represents the essence of the Left Bank, and is one of the most laid-back quartiers to explore in Paris.

Paris has plenty of neighbourhoods where you can idle in corner cafés, admire great art and stroll through overgrown cemeteries – but none are quite like Montparnasse. “It’s the traditional Left Bank,” says photographer Becca Gerbino , “an infusion of French culture, art and history. I love shooting here because I am able to capture local and traditional Parisian life.”

You’ll find authentic experiences in spades, perhaps shopping on market streets like rue Daguerre or eating chantilly-smothered crêpes in an institution such as La Crêperie de Josselin. Then there are the cutting-edge installations at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, creepy subterranean experiences at the Catacombes and magnificent city views from the Tour Montparnasse.

Perfect for first-time visitors, this private tour provides an orientation of Paris. Discover major landmarks, learn navigation tips, and get insights into Parisian culture. A great start to any Paris visit. It’s the only way to get to know the French capital, and once you’ve done this the distinctive districts will feel like less of a mystery.

Bar, Cafe, Restaurant, Beer, Wine

What was once the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul hospital, lying in a no man’s land between Port-Royal and Denfert-Rochereau, is now a creative live-work utopia, thanks to the ambitious vision of Les Grands Voisins. The project is still a work in progress, but 2,000 people – including refugees, artists and craftspeople – are already living and working here. Visitors are welcome to stop by for a coffee (pay it forward and buy one for a neighbour, too), drink at the bar (open evenings from Wednesday to Sunday), or shop in the boutiques and ateliers. The on-site restaurant, L’Oratoire, is a great space to stop for lunch (three courses for €13 (£11.50)), especially in summer, when you can eat at tables in the courtyard.

Bar, Cocktail Bar, French

Rosebud’s white-jacket-clad bartenders have been mixing martinis, manhattans and moscow mules at this old-school, wood-panelled bar for more than 50 years, and it still regularly makes lists of the best bars in the world. This isn’t the kind of place where you come to see and be seen, but to put the world to rights over a quiet cocktail or three. Expect a jazz soundtrack and beautifully made classic drinks. Consider eschewing the traditional old fashioned and order a new fashioned (Peychaud’s Bitters, maraschino and bourbon for €14 (£12.40)) instead.

Descend deep into Paris's Catacombes

Check out the theatre scene on rue de la Gaîté

Paris doesn’t have a theatreland equivalent to London’s West End or New York’s Broadway, so theatres are scattered throughout the city. La rue de la Gaîté is one of the few spots where they’re clustered together. This street has been a hub of stagecraft since the 1870s: the music hall stars of the belle époque performed here, as well as legends such as Edith Piaf and Josephine Baker. If you’re not sure about seeing a show in French, check out musical comedies like Tutu and Les Franglaises at Théâtre Bobino.

How to Visit The Tour Montparnasse Rooftop Terrace

Last Updated on 2nd March 2023 by Sophie Nadeau

This post may contain affiliate links. Please check out my  privacy policy  and  disclosure  for more information.

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.

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.

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.

Is It Worth Visiting the Tour Montparnasse? Our Opinion

Museums are not your cup of tea? Do you prefer outdoor visits? If this is the case, look no further, the Tour Montparnasse is for you. An amazing view, sunsets to die for… Here is our opinion on the tallest tower in the French capital .

Our opinion

What we liked.

• The stunning 360-degree view of Paris which enables you to admire its most beautiful monuments.
• The best view of the Eiffel Tower in all of Paris.
• The day and night access to admire sunsets and Paris by night
• The panoramic terrace
• All the interactive kiosks that make the visit more lively.

What we didn’t like as much

• Tickets are a bit expensive.
• There are too many people; especially at certain times.

What is the Tour Montparnasse?

A little bit of history.

The Tour Montparnasse was built between 1969 and 1973 as the result of an urban project. it is located in the Necker district, on the East side of the 15th arrondissement.

At that time, it was considered as a colossal construction and was sharply criticised. This 150,000 ton skyscraper was built on a site consisting of limestone, chalk and clay – a very risky project!

After a long period of doubt, André Malraux (a former French Minister of Information and Cultural Affairs) finally granted the planning permission for the Tour Montparnasse.

When it first opened in 1973, this 210-meter-high building became the tallest office building in all Europe. It maintained its position for nearly 20 years.

59 floors, 25 lifts, 7,200 windows, a surface area of 90,000 m² … Impressive, isn’t it ?

If you are interested in the history of the Tour Montparnasse, here is a video explaining its construction.

The Tour Montparnasse Nowadays

The Tour Montparnasse is 210 meters high (or 209, sources differ) and is the tallest skyscraper within Paris itself. Its lift is the fastest in all Europe -it only takes 38 seconds to go to the 56th floor, an average speed of 5 meters per second!

It is an office building but several floors are opened to visitors. You can go up to the 56th and the 59th floors to enjoy a 360-degree view of the City of Lights and its most beautiful monuments.

The 56th floor is enclosed and glazed. There are lots of interactive kiosks, a café and a souvenir shop.

The 59th floor is an outdoor, panoramic terrace. In good weather, you can enjoy a view of over 40 km!

How to Get to the Tour Montparnasse ?

It is located at 33 Avenue du Maine, in the Necker district in the 15th arrondissement.

If you want to get there by underground: take line 4, 6, 12 or 13 and get off at Montparnasse – Bienvenüe.

If you want to get there by bus: lines 28, 58, 82, 89, 91, 92, 94, 95 and 96 have bus stops near the Tour Montparnasse.

Additional Information

Children are very welcome to the Tour Montparnasse. The interactive kiosks and the virtual reality panoramas of the 56th floor will win their heart.

It is possible to eat there (see below).

Buy your ticket and take the fastest lift in all Europe … it will take you up to the 56th floor in just 38 seconds!

This floor is an enclosed panoramic observatory. This modern floor is completely glazed and allows you to enjoy a 360-degree view of Paris. It is the perfect spot to enjoy a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower and other Parisian monuments. You will find lots of installations to help you understand the history of the tower – kiosks, interactive panoramas, historical photo exhibitions. There is also a café and a souvenir shop.

Make the most of it and then climb a few steps and go to the 59th floor.

This outdoor, panoramic terrace has a surface area of 800m². From there, you will enjoy one of the best views of the French capital. Make the most of the bar and the view from the highest rooftop in Paris.

Our Recommendations

This visit can last from 30 minutes to 2 hours -it depends on how many other visitors there are and on how long you want to stay there. Note that your tickets don’t have a time limit -you can enjoy the view as long as you want to!

Don’t go there on cold or windy days -there is a lot of wind on the terrace and you could be cold.

Access for People with Reduced Mobility

People with reduced mobility can access the 56th floor but sadly the can’t access the panoramic terrace of the 59th floor as to get there, it is necessary to climb stairs (three floors).

Luggage Restrictions

Unfortunately, you can’t visit the Tour Montparnasse with big luggage.

We recommend you to give them at the left luggage located 17 Boulevard Vaugirard , in the Montparnasse train station (an eleven-minute walk from the Tour Montparnasse).

For 24 hours, you will have to pay 5.50 euros for a small locker, 7.50 euros for a medium one and 9.5. euros for a big one.
