Tour Montparnasse is a 210-metre (689 ft) office skyscraper located in the Montparnasse area of Paris, France. Constructed from 1969 to 1973, it was the tallest skyscraper in France until 2011. Tour Maine-Montparnasse, also commonly named Tour Montparnasse, is home to Paris Montparnasse, an observation deck owned by Magnicity, offering panoramic views of 40 km (25 mi) radius from 200 metres (660 ft) high. Visitors can come up to this level and enjoy access to the scenic rooftop terrace or make reservations for the 56th-floor restaurant, as well as visit various stores, banks and offices below. Climbing the tower without any safety devices of any kind has been achieved by French urban climber Alain "Spiderman" Robert twice, as well as Polish climber Marcin Banot in 2020 and 2023. Tour Montparnasse is certainly worth visiting if you want to enjoy amazing views over Paris from above!
