The OPTM, owner of the 56th floor and historical operator of the panoramic observatory of the Montparnasse Tower, has provided some details on the reasons for the closure of the terrace. According to a press release from the OPTM, the syndicate of co-owners of the Montparnasse Tower has terminated, effective March 31 at midnight, the agreement allowing the OPTM to make this mythical place accessible to Parisians and tourists for over 45 years. The OPTM, enjoying the commercial property, had already started a legal procedure in 2021, still in progress with the Paris Court of Justice. The co-ownership syndic ESSET has decided to block access to the terrace to visitors of the observatory without waiting for a judicial decision.
This closure leads to the cancellation of many events planned on the terrace, including the Urban Altitude festival, the 50th anniversary festivities of the Montparnasse Tower and others. It is important to remember that the Observatoire Paris Montparnasse had already announced this winter the cancellation of the 5th edition of the ephemeral ice rink.
In conclusion, the closure of the terrace of theObservatoire Tour Montparnasse is a regrettable situation for those who wanted to enjoy this unique experience. Let's hope that the legal proceedings underway will resolve this conflict and reopen the terrace for the pleasure of Parisians and tourists. In the meantime, the 56th floor remains open, still offering an exceptional panoramic view of the capital.
