Best-of list · Rooftop Guides
The best rooftop bars in Paris for 2026, from Le Perchoir to the Terrass Hotel and TOO TacTac, where Montmartre and the Eiffel skyline meet a drink.
The short answer
6 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Paris rooftops are mostly a summer affair, since the rules and the weather conspire. The list below shows what is worth the climb. Most sit in the 9th, 11th, 13th and 18th arrondissements.
Le Perchoir crowns a former factory on rue Crespin du Gast, the terrace that taught Paris to drink at altitude. The view runs across the 11th toward a distant Sacré-Cœur, sharpest in the hour before sunset. Order the herbal house spritz and climb up by 6pm in summer, before the single lift backs up and the bar turns two deep.
Full listing & hours →The seventh floor of the Terrass Hotel in Montmartre holds the cleanest Eiffel Tower angle on this list, framed straight down the city rather than across it. The room leans hotel-polished, all pale wood and low light. Come for golden hour, take a Champagne or a classic Negroni, and book ahead on warm weekends when the terrace fills by 7pm.
Full listing & hours →Tucked down a private path off Avenue Junot, Hotel Particulier trades skyline for seclusion, a garden terrace set inside a nineteenth-century mansion. The cocktails run botanical and careful, around 18 euros each. It suits a date that wants quiet over spectacle. Reserve ahead, since the garden seats few and Montmartre regulars guard the address closely.
Full listing & hours →Le Perchoir's Marais outpost sits atop the BHV department store, a compact terrace staring straight at the Hôtel de Ville and the rooftops of the 4th. It opens seasonally and keeps shorter hours than its Ménilmontant parent. Arrive early evening for the light, order a crisp white or a spritz, and expect a wait once the after-work crowd lands.
Full listing & hours →TOO TacTac claims the highest rooftop in Paris, on the 27th floor of the Starck-designed TOO Hotel in the 13th. The terrace reads the Seine, the Eiffel Tower and the Duo Towers in one sweep. It opens from 4pm, runs DJ nights at weekends, and takes walk-ins until half past midnight. Best near sunset, drink in hand, before the music takes over.
On the ninth floor of the Holiday Inn near Notre-Dame, 43 Up on the Roof spins a 360-degree view that takes in the cathedral, the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides. The cocktail list stays straightforward rather than ambitious, and the terrace runs spring through summer. Go for the panorama over the menu, and time it for the long Paris dusk.
