Our Favorite Terraces and Rooftops in Paris
Mythical and charming, terraces are the essence of the Parisian life. Since a few years, rooftops bars have developed in Paris, even if they do not compete with their cousins from Berlin or New York. In this list find out all about la crème de la crème of Parisian terraces & rooftops! From
Café de Flore
Just mythical. It is better to go there on the early morning, when the day belongs to you since tourists usually come by later. With un café noir and a newspaper, the moment is perfect: simplement Parisien.

Parc de Belleville
Our favorite and cheapest rooftop to see an aereal view of Paris. From the very top of the Parc de Belleville. You will decide your drink (or aperitif) of choice, not far you will find a grocery shop to pick up some great snacks and drinks. Bonus: Nobody will say that you aren't dressed well enough.

A haven of peace in the middle of the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The terrace offers an hanging garden with a spectacular view on the Eiffel Tower, and the city. Prices are high, but the place is unique and worth every euro.

Café Marly
Having a drink at sunset, in front of the Louvre, is something you will never forget. The decoration will make you travel back in time to Napoléon & royalty with all those gilding and velvet. A must-do.
