Observatoire Panoramique de la Tour Montparnasse
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.
This E-Ticket allows you admission to the Montparnasse Tower. You must present this e-ticket to be scanned at the terminal control directly on the 56th Floor of the Montparnasse Tower.

be careful summer camp children fill up the entire lines to go up during mid week. be patient as there is only one elevator to go up to 56th floor

Montparnasse Tower has great views of Paris. The kids really enjoyed the rooftop and there is a nice seating area to just sit back and enjoy the view. There is a quick elevator to the 56th floor observation room, but you must climb 3 flights of stairs to get to the rooftop. If you have trouble walking, as I do it’s difficult and the rooftop definitely not wheelchair accessible. It would be nice if they added an escalator.

Where the entrance is? It was a bit misleading but a nice evening out. The signage for Montparnasse were not good. Possibility more reliable ones. The locals didn’t have a clue.

Great views! Easy to access. Missed our 8pm slot and went at 9pm and it was no problem at all if you’re running late I’d recommend going either earlier or during sunset. We went at 8pm and it was hard to see towards the Eiffel Tower because of the sun

We went up the 56 floors by lift, from there,we were directed to the final few steps to the outside rooftop, before we could take in the view,everyone was told to leave, ‘evacuate the rooftop as there has been a serious incident’.We had to descend the 56 flights of stairs,in the dark,as the emergency lights hadn’t come on,back to the ground floor, no direction or explanation from the staff, who looked ‘bewildered ’to say the least.we we told once downstairs to leave by the front door, again no explanation, I will be asking for a refund!!
