What do you think about the Montparnasse tower? It was erected 50 years ago, but discussions around it are still ongoing. It is the first and only skyscraper in the center of Paris; designing other skyscrapers was prohibited after its construction. Montparnasse tower symbolized France's technological and aesthetic changes and the ideal that French society aspired to. This tour will interest anyone who would like to look at the city from an unexpected angle. You will see Paris, which takes risks and is not afraid to transform. However, this walk also appeals to people in love with the classic Paris, with its cozy cafes that have not changed for centuries. Your tour will start here in the Montparnasse Tower, where you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the city. You will see a panorama of Paris with its iconic buildings, including the Eiffel Tower, Sacre-Coeur, Notre Dame, and the Louvre. After, you will plunge into the atmosphere of Les Années folles. You will take a mini walk in the quarter to pass by Bobino, the legendary stage and the Boulevard du Montparnasse. It is known not only from a gastronomic point of view but also by those who visit this place. Picasso, Hemingway, Modigliani, and many others were frequenters of these areas. Your walk will end at the Montparnasse cemetery, where you can find the graves of your favorite writers, artists, or musicians. Note! This tour is not affiliated with the Tower but is provided by an independent creator.
