The most beautiful views of Paris
Discover Paris…
The panoramic view and the open-air museum
- Access the 1000m2 rooftop terrace of the Grande Arche de la Défense by taking one of the panoramic glass lifts. A spectacular and impressive ascent in the middle of the architecture of this enormous building built by great architects
- At 110 m above the ground, a 100 m long promenade bridge crosses the building in the very continuity of the historic axis: a unique 360° view of Greater Paris and Paris.
- You will be able to discover the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, the Montparnasse Tower, the Vuitton Foundation, Mont Valérien, etc.
- The roof terrace of the Arche de la Défense houses the largest open-air museum in France. Artists such as Calder (the Stabile) and César (the Thumb) are exhibited there. 60 monumental works are installed there.

The Arche de La Défense ice rink (event over)
This year again, for the end of year celebrations, an ephemeral Christmas ice rink is installed at a height of 110m on the roof of the Arche de la Défense! From this 300m2 ice rink, the 360° view of all of Paris is absolutely magnificent: the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, the Arc de Triomphe… and the atmosphere very family and very friendly.
- It is possible to have lunch on site, but the quality is not always there. Remember to bring your picnic and go for lunch in the park : it’s much nicer.
- Access by train: RER B(3), get off at Charles De Gaulle Airport Terminal 1, Terminal 3. Then take a shuttle bus (there are about 30 minutes).
- Access by car: via the A1 motorway towards Lille, between exits 7 and 8. Allow about 40 minutes from Paris
- By air-conditioned coach from Paris (departure at 8:15 am)
