When the sun sets in Paris and the city starts to glow, there’s something magical about seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle from above.

We often find ourselves drawn back to Paris; as locals, travellers, and hosts. There’s always something new to experience, even in the most iconic corners of the city. One of our favourite ways to take in the French capital is from above, with a view of the Eiffel Tower. Rooftop season in Paris is something we look forward to every year, and we wanted to share some of the terraces we love most.

Some are elegant and discreet, others are festive and full of life. But all have that view, that unmistakable Parisian skyline, with the Eiffel Tower at the heart of it.

La Villa Minuty at Brach Paris

This summer, Brach Paris partners with Domaine Minuty to bring the charm of the Riviera to its rooftop. The result is La Villa Minuty: sea-inspired décor, Provençal apéritifs, and a wine list featuring the estate’s finest cuvées. With the Eiffel Tower rising in the background, it feels like a stylish escape to the south, without leaving Paris.

Rooftop Bar at Dame des Arts

Il dolce far niente comes to life at the rooftop of Dame des Arts. It’s all about slowing down: sharing antipasti, sipping a cocktail, and watching the sunset over the rooftops. With its laid-back Italian feel and direct view of the Eiffel Tower, it’s the perfect place to let time drift.

Girafe Paris

Housed in the Cité de l’Architecture, Girafe is all about timeless elegance. Think creamy banquettes, marble bar, tropical greenery and a head-on view of the Eiffel Tower. It’s glamorous and quintessentially Parisian, with a seafood-focused menu and a terrace that feels like a movie set.

Kinugawa Rive Gauche

On the rooftop of Hôtel Sax, Kinugawa Rive Gauche is a blend of Japanese serenity and Parisian chic. The design is warm and textured, and the view of the Eiffel Tower through the sculpted interiors is simply breathtaking. On the plate and in the glass, expect Japanese elegance with a creative twist.

L’Heure Dorée at The Peninsula

The rooftop of The Peninsula Paris reopens for the summer season with a name that says it all: L’Heure Dorée. From here, you can take in the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur as you sip a cocktail by Bon Entendeur and enjoy small plates by Michelin-starred David Bizet. It’s Paris at golden hour, a moment suspended between sky and city.

With its panoramic view and warm, elegant atmosphere, it’s the perfect setting for a memorable lunch, an intimate dinner, or a festive evening. Chef Wilfried Graux brings refined seasonal cuisine to the table, while the open-air terrace invites you to soak in the magic of the Rive Gauche skyline.
