venüe)
Spectacular views unfold from this 210m-high smoked-glass and steel office block, built in
1973. (Bonus: it's about the only spot in the city you can't see this startlingly ugly sky-
scraper, which dwarfs low-rise Paris.) Europe's fastest lift/elevator whisks visitors up in 38
seconds to the indoor observatory on the 56th floor, with multimedia displays. Finish with a
hike up the stairs to the 59th-floor open-air terrace (with a sheltered walkway) and bubbly at
the terrace's Champagne bar.
The tower also houses the city's highest restaurant,
Le Ciel de Paris
.
