explanation: Built between 1969 and 1972 at the place of old Montparnasse station which should have been replaced, Montparnasse tower was the highest skyscraper in Europe at that time with 207m high and 58 floors. Since then, skyscrapers being banned in Paris, it is unique in Paris and the tallest in France. Though most of the floors are reserved for the office usage, a merchant gallery is at the lower level. You can admire the best view of Paris from a restaurant located at 54th floor or the top terrace if it is fine.
