When I lived in Paris and friends visited me, I would take them to the top of the Tour Montparnasse because it had the best view of Paris. When you are at the top of the Eiffel Tower, the view is great except for one thing: you can't see the Eiffel Tower. The observation deck of the Tour Montparnasse is literally on the roof of the building and it is open-air. It's literally breathtaking. I highly recommend it too because it's one of the best-kept secrets in Paris--very very few tourists know about it, and as a result, it is quite likely you will have the whole place to yourself:cool : . Shhhhhh!!!!
