The lift opens and the city unfolds: rooftops, the Eiffel Tower’s silhouette, the Seine threading toward the horizon. From the Montparnasse rooftop, Paris stretches in every direction — an urban plain of stone and iron punctuated by domes and bell towers. A private guide places each landmark, pointing out the Louvre’s roofline, the Sacré‑Cœur on its hill, and the angled expanse of the Champs‑Élysées.
