Le Ciel de Paris, the glass-walled dining room on the 56th floor of the Tour Montparnasse in the 15th arrondissement, is permanently closed. After decades as one of France’s highest restaurants, at roughly 210 meters, it ended service with a final lunch on Friday, June 20, 2025 (source: Sortiraparis).
For years, couples booked window tables here for anniversaries and proposals. Diners ate refined French cooking in a calm room finished in grey, taupe and caramel while the rooftops of Paris spread out below and the Eiffel Tower filled the northwest view (source: Wikipédia; Yelp). Some third-party listing sites still show menus and reservation details. Treat those listings as outdated, because the restaurant no longer takes bookings.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
If you want the same skyline, check the current hours and renovation status of the Montparnasse 56 observation deck before you go. The tower is in the middle of a long-term redevelopment, so access can change. The Montparnasse–Bienvenüe Métro hub (lines 4, 6, 12 and 13) sits at the tower’s base.
For a special-occasion meal with a view, book an Eiffel Tower restaurant or a rooftop terrace elsewhere in the city weeks in advance. Request a sunset seating for the best light.
