Tour Montparnasse
A steel-and-smoked-glass eyesore built in 1974, the 210m-high Tour Montparnasse affords spectacular views over the city – a view, we might add, that does not take in this ghastly oversized lipstick tube. A lift takes you up to the 56th-floor enclosed observatory, with exhibition centre, video clips, multimedia terminals and Paris’ highest café. Finish with a hike up the stairs to the open-air terrace on the 59th floor, but arm yourself with the multilingual guide Paris Vu d’En Haut (Paris Seen from the Top; €3), available from the ticket office, to know what you’re looking at.
