The most beautiful views in Paris

The City of Light is a prime destination for tourists and romantics and has been the stage for art and history, with its monuments, neighborhoods and quaint streets. Are you popping in to France’s capital for a few days, hoping to partake in its magic and take in its charm? Come gaze out at the best views Paris has to offer.

A universally human viewpoint

To immerse yourself entirely in a Parisian atmosphere, you must wander the city’s cobblestone streets. It is only when you least expect it that you will discover, as you amble along at the crossing of boulevards in the heart of century-old districts, the most beautiful views that Paris has to offer. What’s more, the city gives off the impression you’re experiencing it as none have before, as you peer out in wonder at buildings and monuments furtively tucked away, discovering them from an angle where few onlookers have stopped to contemplate.

Hop into a legendary 2CV for a nostalgic car tour, climb aboard a panoramic bus, or board a riverboat for a cruise down the Seine. You’ll see some of the city’s most incredible views and can see the city from a completely different angle.

The best view of Paris is from the top

Paris rooftops are emblematic of the city and have served as a backdrop for painters, photographers, and cinematographers from all walks of life. Floating above a sea of mansard roofs, you can catch a glimpse of the capital’s most iconic monuments: Notre-Dame’s spires, the Eiffel Tower, the gilded dome of the Hôtel des Invalides and the Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre.

The best views Paris has to offer are quite simply from high up. Head to the top of the Montparnasse Tower, Eiffel Tower, or Arc de Triomphe to enjoy the City of Light from a new vantage point. Ready to take to the sky? A helicopter tour allows you to admire the most incredible views Paris has to offer, with a detour to Versailles to see the palace gardens from the skies.

You also have the option of coupling your day tour with a discovery tour of Paris in the nighttime. Once the sun has set, the city’s greatest monuments are aglow and waiting to be discovered in a new light, to the delight of visitors.
