I talk about it regularly on the site, but I’ve been a Parisian for several years now<\/a>. While other parts of France<\/a> and destinations around the world certainly attract me on every vacation, I really enjoy visiting my own city. And here, as elsewhere, what I love most are\u2026 the views! I love getting up high and feeling like a bird (that’s why I now travel with a drone<\/a>), scanning the horizon and trying to recognize the monuments. In Paris, I had the opportunity to discover a few of them. Here is my selection with well-known spots, and others more confidential!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most famous: the Eiffel Tower<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s impossible to begin this selection without mentioning the Eiffel Tower, Paris’s iconic monument and one of the best vantage points from which to admire the capital. Even after several years of exploring the city, I still feel the same excitement climbing its floors, as if it were the first time. Gaining height from the Iron Lady offers an absolutely breathtaking spectacle: the Seine winds between the Haussmannian rooftops, the Trocad\u00e9ro unfolds its gardens below, and on a clear day, you can see as far as La D\u00e9fense on one side, and the Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur perched on Montmartre on the other.
What makes this view unique is the feeling of being in the heart of Paris, literally surrounded by its most famous monuments. Accessible by elevator or, for the more adventurous, by the stairs, the top floor reaches 280 meters. Up there, an orientation table allows you to locate major sites and better understand Parisian geography. At the end of the day, when the sun sets behind the Arc de Triomphe, the golden hues that bathe the city offer an unforgettable moment \u2014 ideal for capturing sublime shots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1Tip: To avoid the crowds, visit early in the morning or in the evening. And don’t forget to book your tickets <\/a>online to save time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tallest: the Montparnasse Tower<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can say what you like about the Montparnasse Tower, this 210-meter skyscraper often criticized for its stark architecture and its contrast with Parisian aesthetics\u2026 but one thing is certain: the view from its summit is one of the most breathtaking in Paris. And as Parisians humorously say, \u00ab\u00a0it’s the most beautiful view of the city, because it’s the only one where you can’t see the Montparnasse Tower!\u00a0\u00bb
From the Panoramic Observatory located on the 56th floor, and then from the open-air terrace on the 59th floor, you can enjoy a spectacular 360\u00b0 panorama. It’s here that the harmony of Paris is truly appreciated: the Eiffel Tower stands out majestically against the horizon, Les Invalides, the Louvre, the Seine, and the Grands Boulevards are revealed as if on a giant model. Day or night, it’s a dream spot for photographers and lovers of the City of Lights. A visit I haven’t had the chance to make yet, but it’s definitely on my list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
