Looking for the must-visit rooftops in Paris? As soon as the sun makes an appearance in the capital, these spots become ideal for enjoying breathtaking panoramic views. Located on rooftops or the top floors of Parisian buildings, these roof terraces offer a chance to admire the city's architecture, its iconic zinc rooftops, and famous monuments. Sometimes, they even provide a glimpse of the distant horizons of the surrounding region.

Views that the whole world envies, accessible with just a few steps up or by taking an elevator. Whether you're enjoying an afternoon aperitif, sipping cocktails with friends, on a romantic date, or having an evening dinner, these rooftops offer a true escape in the very heart of the City of Light.

As the sunlight shifts throughout the day, casting vibrant colors at sunset and sparkling lights after night falls, it’s a visual feast that’s hard to beat, all while enjoying a great social atmosphere. Craving a chance to soak in the stunning views of the capital from above? Check out the where you can toast to Paris sprawling beneath you!

Heads up: since the sun decided to make an early appearance this year (we're only in February-March, after all!), be sure to check if these spots are already open before heading out!
