Montparnasse Tower

Montparnasse Tower or the Tour Montparnasse located at the center of Paris might not apparently cast a spell on you with its simple exteriors.

To put it more precisely, it records a staggering 6,70,000 footfall annually. The sales pitch of this structure lies in its 56th and 59th floors that offers a 360-degree view of the city. Jump in the elevator and well before the second key of your watch completes a full rotation, you are at the 56th floor, courtesy the fastest elevator of Europe that takes mere 38 seconds to scale a height of 196 meters! This floor exposes the city in a novel light with viewpoint tables helps you locate the major monuments, films, interactive sessions and illuminating exhibitions. In course of your understanding of the city, you can also step in the bar with a overwhelming view to relish the famous French wine. If not a wine enthusiast, you can visit the highest cafeteria in Paris- Le 360 Caf`. Crowned as the highest terrace in Paris, the 59th floor at an altitude of 210 meter is a sort of outdoor observatory with a panoramic view of the city underneath. Be it day time or the night, a traveller can get himself/herself blown away by the sight of a classic city with an eternal aura. One of the high point of it is the experience of having an elevated glance literally! of the iconic Eiffel Tower.
