Check out the best viewpoint in Paris to take in Montmartre hill and the Sacré-Cœur basilica. The Montparnasse Tower Panoramic Observation Deck is the perfect place to take incredible photos of Paris’s monuments and other sights.

The best view of Montmartre hill

Enjoy the best view of the Sacré-Cœur basilica, at the highest point in Paris.

Escape 200 metres up in the sky to see the best view of Montmartre from the 56th floor of the Montparnasse Tower.

The panoramic roof terrace is the best place to take a photo of one of the most iconic monuments in Paris: the Sacré-Cœur basilica.

The show is unique by day or by night.

  • On days with a clear sky, you can see up to 40 km.
  • When night falls, see Sacré-Cœur basilica’s architecture in a whole new light under the City of Light’s illuminations.

MONTMARTRE: AN UNMISSABLE PARIS NEIGHBOURHOOD

Montmartre is one of the symbolic neighbourhoods that make Paris what it is. While Montmartre hill is filled with cobblestone streets, authentic bistros, typical cafés and intimate boutiques, it is most famous for the Sacré-Cœur basilica at its summit.

As a significant religious site, Montmartre hill is also an especially rich cultural location. Several museums and many performance halls – such as the Moulin Rouge – enliven this artists’ haven.

Take the opportunity to visit Montmartre in a new way: looking down on it from a height of more than 200 m.

Visit the tower

Paris’s best view is from the top of Montparnasse Tower. Experience one of the top things to do in Paris from the 56th-floor observatory and 59th-floor rooftop.
