 La Tour Montparnasse by oneonta_ni
When I was there in 2002, it cost €7.60 to go up in the lift to the 56th floor. From there you can climb up another couple of stories to the viewing platform or stay in the warm dry comfort and have a cup of coffee while you enjoy the view. We went up to the very top and spent a good 20 minutes walking around and taking photos. Most people seemed to spend only 5 minutes before rushing off to the next site on their list.
We also enjoyed the photo exhibition on the 56th floor which showed old photos of Paris.

 Tour Montparnasse:
overlooking Paris! by Laura_Mexico
Unfortunately it looks like this is no longer an off the beaten path place as the first time I went there... it used to be cheaper to climb this tower than La Tour Eiffel, but now you pay 9.50 EUR (2007) just to get in. However, since everybody wants to climb the Eiffel Tower it's always very crowded to go up, but since less people know about the Tour Montparnasse you won't have to stand in line for an hour waiting to go up. Besides, you won't have to climb stairs because the elevator service is included in the ticket. You can stay on the 56th floor or climb 3 more floors to the roof, on the 59th. The view from the terrace is amazing, especially if you go there by night, when all the main monuments are illuminated. It's open from early morning to 11:30 PM (last admittance 11 PM), so you can go anytime and have a great view of Paris which not everyone knows about.
There's a little restaurant in one of the top floors, as well as a souvenir shop. There's also a lot of history about how the tour was built (it's not as new as I though it was -- it actually is several years old!), media presentations, etc.
The Montparnasse Bienvenue metro station is right in front of the Tower. Leave a Comment

I actually stayed a few blocks away from this skyscraper that seems out of place in such a nice area of Paris. Although I was never officially inside the tower, i heard a lot about it. You can have dinner on the top floor which is supposed to offer a magnificent view of the city. If you walk around, there's a shopping mall right around the corner, several elequent pâtisseries (bakery) and other little shops. Enjoy the area of paris that so many people look down upon...it's actually beautiful and has a lot to offer. Leave a Comment
