Like the Empire State Building in New York and the London Eye, the Montparnasse Tower offers unrivaled views of the city below. Far beyond the hustle and bustle of the Montparnasse square, you can stand on the very roof of the capital. The city is spread out before you, swarming with life. By using the viewpoint indicators, you can locate each of the districts and their monuments. Your ticket gets you access to ascend the Montparnasse Tower to its fully renovated 56th floor. In just 38 seconds, Europe's fastest elevator will take you to a height of 689 feet (210 meters), where the most beautiful views of Paris stretch out before you from a modern, relaxed and very comfortable setting. A large number of audiovisual and interactive facilities are also available to help you discover and understand Paris; photo galleries, interactive screens, video clips of Paris and more. The panoramic bar also gives you the chance to enjoy a gourmet break as you take in the view across the capital.
