Is the Montparnasse tower worth going to/up in? I've heard there is a view restaruant and bar/cafe there. I've never been to that area of Paris. <BR> <BR>If my plane takes off for Paris I'll be on it. <BR> <BR>

Harvey: Yes, the Tour Montparnasse will give you a magnificent view over Paris and over the Eiffel Tower. There is a nice restaurant called "Ciel de Paris" where you can have meals, but also just go for tea or a drink at the bar. <BR>It will be less crowded than the Eiffel Tower or La Grande Arche. <BR>Montparnasse is a nice and lively area. However, the tower itself is not that terrific to look at. You should walk the small street towards the Luxembourg Gardens where you will discover a lot of nice houses, shops, restaurants. <BR> <BR>Enjoy Paris!

I went to the tower this past June. I agree that the view is worth it.

yes go to the top, its the best view in paris. you get a great view of paris with explanations in written form, and you dont have to see the building you are on top of in you pictures

We've been to the top about 4 times, it's well worth it, the view is fantastic and it's usually no where near as crowded as the Eiffel Tower (at least the times we've been).
