Insiders' Tips
Visit just before sunset for the best experience — you’ll see Paris transition from daylight to its famous evening illumination. The rooftop is less crowded early in the morning or later in the evening. Don’t miss the view straight down the Champs-Élysées — it’s one of the most photographed perspectives in the city
