Montparnasse
Making the Most of Your Time
If you can get to the top of the Tour Montparnasse on a clear day, you'll be rewarded with the best view in all of Paris. The viewing deck is open until 10:30 pm, so you can watch the lights sparkle on the Eiffel Tower at the top of the hour. The Catacombs and the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson are closed on Monday. The Cimetière du Montparnasse is open daily. La Coupole is perfect for a celebratory evening, but make reservations for this famous brasserie well in advance.
