Montparnasse Tower
Everyone knows the Eiffel tower.
And almost every tourist wants to see the Eiffel tower.
But no one like queueing up to get into the Eiffel tower.
If only there were a way to not queue like lemmings and still get a royal view of the Eiffel tower.
Well, the Montparnasse tower (Tour Montparnasse) it the answer!
At 210 meters tall, the Montparnasse tower offers a stunning view of the city of love. And if that isn't romantic enough then feast your taste buds at the Ciel de Paris restaurant 3 floors below to top floor. But, if you're going with your loved ones, please take the elevator and avoid following in the footsteps of French urban climber Alain "Spiderman" Robert who climbed the building twice using only his bare hands and feet and with no safety devices of any kind.
Note that it's unlikely you'll find another building like it in Paris any time soon. The public was so appalled by its out-of-place design that upon its completion a new law was written, banning buildings larger than 7 stories high in the city centre.
