A Tower with a View

Visit the top of the 689-foot Tour Montparnasse, France's tallest skyscraper. Does it surpass the view of Tour Eiffel? Not quite, (the Eiffel is taller), but it does give you a stunning view of the Parisian skyline with the Eiffel Tower.

Constructed from 1969 to 1972 it serves as offices on 59 floors and features a restaurant on the 56^th.

Front de Seine

Front de Seine, also known as Beaugrenelle, is a district in Paris' 15th arrondissement just to the south of the Eiffel Tower.

It mimics a mini-Manhattan with high-rise buildings along the banks of the river, home to offices and shopping malls. The area hosts 20 of the highest towers in the city, all reaching nearly 100 meters, though not high enough to be called skyscrapers.
