Le Rooftop du Brach: the perched terrace with a view of the Eiffel Tower, Provence and the French Riviera

Here's a nugget to discover, tucked away at the very top of Paris! Head for the 16th arrondissement, more precisely the chic Passy district, to climb to the 7th floor of the Hôtel Brach. This is where you'll find one of the capital's most coveted - but still well-guarded - rooftops. A discreet address, ideal for a romantic get-together, a toast with friends or simply savoring the view.

And what a view! In a single glance, you can sweep across Montmartre, La Défense and, the highlight of the show, the Eiffel Tower in all its splendor. An idyllic panorama, especially as the sun sets and the city slowly lights up.

For the summer season, the rooftop vegetable garden is transformed into an elegant, bohemian terrace, open daily from 5pm to 1am (capricious weather aside). The space takes on the air of a Mediterranean peninsula, with a complete makeover orchestrated by an emblematic wine estate on the Var coast. Light wood furnishings, azure blue hues, a Riviera version of the dolce vita... everything here recalls the sunny shores of the South.

The bar, set up for the summer season, offers an immersive experience based on theart of Provencal living. What's on the menu? Bites to share that are as fresh as they are delicious: peppers stuffed with tuna and goat's cheese, olive tapenade with figs, artichoke confit, tuna ventrèche, pecorino, tomato or red fruit punnets. All accompanied by the estate's flagship cuvées, to be enjoyed facing the Iron Lady.

In short, if you're dreaming of a bucolic, chic rooftop perched in the heart of the 16th arrondissement, we've found the perfect address.

As an added bonus for epicureans, the 1st floor also hides a terrace, which this year features the authentic flavors of Italy.
