Ideally located in the Montparnasse neighborhood, this unique, central viewing point in Paris allows you to see all of the city’s most famous attractions and monuments: the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, the Arc de Triomphe, the familiar streets and rooftops, and much more. Each hour of the day has its own charm and quality of light: romantic morning shots facing the Eiffel Tower, the magnificent Parisian sunset, and the stunning lights of “Paris by Night.” Your voucher entitles you to access to the Montparnasse Tower Observation Deck at any time during opening hours.
The Tower is open 365 days a year, from 9:30am to 10:30pm, Sunday to Thursday and 9:30 am to 11:00pm, Friday, Saturday, and the eve of public holidays.

Day 3. Paris
Today you will want to make a trip to the most iconic site in Paris and one of the most famous in the world- the Eiffel Tower. Built in 1889 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, this monument was meant to last 20 years but has since been renovated and restored to last much longer. Although the Eiffel Tower is beautiful during the day, if you come at night when it is a sparkling beacon of shining lights, you will be blown away.
Day 4. Paris
Continue exploring Paris today. Make your way to the Arc de Triomphe de l’Etoile in the center of the city. This is the linchpin of the Historic Axis in Paris which is a sequence of monuments on a route running from the Louvre to the Grande Arche de la Defence. Upon arrival at the monument you will be completely in awe as it stands 164-feet high. After you admire the Arc’s beauty, move on to the Pantheon in the Latin Quarter. This mausoleum is a great example of neoclassicism in Paris.
