THE WORLD’S HIGHEST SANTA CLAUS MEETING AT 210m ABOVE PARIS!

Paris, the City of Light, is preparing to light up this festive season even more with an original initiative:

on December 14, 2024, join the world’s highest gathering of Santas at the top of the Montparnasse Tower!

🎅 HO HO HIGH for a good cause!

Inspired by events such as New York’s SantaCon, Observatoire Paris Montparnasse is offering a celebration 210 meters above sea level. From 12pm to 3pm, the Observatory will open its doors free of charge to all visitors dressed as Santa or Mother Christmas.

But it’s more than just a party: for every ticket offered, the Observatory will donate the equivalent to the Association les Petits Princes, which makes the dreams of seriously ill children come true. A generous and festive way to spread the Christmas spirit.

🎁 How to take part?

It’s simple: don your best Santa or Mother Christmas costume and meet us on site on December 14 between 12pm and 3pm to enjoy free admission!

And, from December 14 (after 3pm) to December 25, 2024, all visitors in costume will receive a 50% discount on their admission ticket.

Please note, access is limited to availability and tickets must be taken on site (no online booking for this special event – all info is here [link to dedicated rules] ).

🌟 A magical view and much more!

At the top of the Tour Montparnasse, discover the capital like nowhere else, with a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower and all the monuments of Paris. Also enjoy the “Paris Time Travel” tour, a virtual reality experience included in your ticket, for a journey back in time through Parisian history.
