It's exceptional at any time of day, but the view is also greatly appreciated at sunset or when night has fallen, and the city shines brightly with its enchanting illuminations…

Further down, on the 56th floor with its large bay windows, there are superb views of the capital as well as a permanent exhibition of archive photos of Paris, interactive terminals and signs showing the city in augmented reality.
