The perfect place to enjoy and soak up the wonderful atmosphere. We were up there at sunset and it was a dream. The first light show of the Eiffel Tower was also simply an experience.

Although the facility is dated and in need of some refurbishment if not a complete makeover , the spaces and locations available for the view from the top of Paris are good and allow for an exceptional experience especially if done at sunset . Easy to purchase via app .

Taking a Seine River cruise in Paris was truly one of the highlights of my trip. From the moment we boarded, everything was smooth, well-organized, and inviting. The boat was modern and comfortable, with panoramic windows and an open-air deck that offered stunning views of the city. As we glided along the river, the sights were nothing short of breathtaking. Passing by iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, the Louvre, and the Musée d’Orsay while the sun set and the city lights began to sparkle was an absolutely magical experience. Seeing Paris from the water gives you a unique and romantic perspective that you simply can’t get on foot. The commentary on board was informative but not overwhelming, giving just enough background to enrich the journey. I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere—perfect for relaxing, taking photos, or simply soaking in the beauty of Paris. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to the City of Light, I highly recommend taking a Seine cruise. It’s a timeless experience that captures the heart and soul of Paris in the most elegant way.

Ticketing online was easy. The cruise was great! I loved that all the seats were outward-facing so you (almost) never had to look over people. We did the dusk cruise in March and got the best of both worlds by seeing Paris in the daylight and lit up in the dark, too. Would have loved a bit more info on the bridges and a bit more time to take pics (Pont Alexandre, especially), but overall, would definitely do again!

I feel compled to leave a review based on my experience. Out of desperation we booked with Headout for a tour that was sold out everywhere else (Paris Catacombs). We read the reviews on Headout and felt that we may be risking booking with them based on all the poor reviews but decided to go for it because there really wasn't another option and by chance maybe it would work out and at least we kind of knew what the outcome could be going into it. We booked 2 months before our trip and within minutes recieved the digital tickets. This made us a bit more confortable but still we just were not sure if Headout was legit. 2 months later (last week) we headed to the Catacombs as the digital tickets instructed and they scanned perfectly. No issues, no questions, perfection! We are so thankful that the tickets were actual tickets and we weren't scammed. We never had to deal with customer service so I can't say anything in that regards but for our experience we had absolutey no issues. Based on this event we would absolutely give Headout another try!

Top things to do in Paris

Montparnasse Tower: The Eiffel’s edgy cousin

If you thought Paris was all about the old world charm with cobbled streets, historical arches and lacy metal structures, think again– there’s a glassy urban giant standing right in the heart of the city. The Montparnasse Tower, an audacious skyscraper which is a stark contrast to the city's famed Haussmannian elegance, rises up to a staggering height of 689 feet with a total of 59 floors!

Keep reading to know how to choose your tickets to this high-rise building in the City of Love, its highlights, visiting information and more!

Why visit Montparnasse Tower

For views from the observation deck
1/4

For views from the observation deck

With a panoramic observation deck located on the 56th floor providing a 360-degree view of Paris, it allows you to see up to 40 kilometers away on a clear day, as you can spot landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and Sacré-Cœur.

Zooming up to the top

Missed your chance to ascend the Eiffel Tower because the wait time was too long?

  • The entry tickets give you access to both the 56th and the 59th floors. While there’s an elevator that will take you up to the 56th floor which has the observation deck with  telescopes, interactive terminals, and touch-screen tables to orient yourself, you will have to climb the last 3 floors to reach the terrace on the 59th floor which is open-air.
