There’s no doubt about it, summer is here! So we’re taking advantage of it to sip our favorite cocktail in a guinguette, take a stroll around the Paris region to discover its hidden treasures, stroll through a park or garden in search of a change of scenery and fresh air… For us, it’s all about settling down on a rooftop to admire the view while enjoying our favorite beverage. We’ve found THE most beautiful rooftop in Paris for you: La suite Girafe. The spirit of the 30s, a view of the Eiffel Tower and a hot menu… What do the people want?
A secret rooftop in Paris, with 1930s flair and a view of the Eiffel Tower.
This sublime rooftop, entirely planted with greenery, undoubtedly offers one of the finest views of the Iron Lady. Located on the 9ᵉ floor of the Cité de l’Architecture, just a stone’s throw from the Trocadéro, you’ll enjoy a 360° view of the whole of Paris. With its comfortable banquettes surrounded by greenery, you’d almost feel like you were in a garden, where the Eiffel Tower seems almost within reach.
This former private rooftop belonged to the museum’s former curator before being reinvested as a secret rooftop, with just 100 covers. Suffice to say, you’ll have to be patient to get a seat.
In this chic 30s-style setting, you’ll discover absolutely delicious seafood cuisine that will propel you to the seaside without leaving Paris. This trendy seahouse offers ultra-fresh fish, shellfish and seafood on a platter. Raw, in ceviche, sashimi or cooked a la plancha, each bite is a surprise for your taste buds. The menu changes frequently according to new arrivals: lobster, sole, turbot… Elegant, refined, iodized cuisine that you’re sure to love.
And if you prefer bucolic terraces at the height of perched terraces,you’ll love the Girafe restaurant, located on the first floor of the Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine. Reservations are strongly recommended!
