As you know, this year the July 14 fireworks display will be held on the 13th, in honor of those who lost their lives in the Nice attack—which took place 10 years ago already… Since everyone knows this, the Champs-de-Mars is likely to be packed. Here are a few spots where you’re sure to see the fireworks launched from the Eiffel Tower without being crushed by the crowd (or almost none at all).
To enjoy the July 14 fireworks with the added bonus of a view of the Eiffel Tower, head to a spot high above the city. The TOO Hotel opened at the end of last year—a timeless retreat where you can live with your head in the clouds. With its view of the Iron Lady, the Seine, and Paris’s most beautiful monuments, TOO Tac Tac invites you to dream. A huge panoramic terrace where you can relax as the sky changes colors. To grab a bite with friends, sip a cocktail, and enjoy live concerts, head to one of Paris’s most beautiful rooftops: TOO Tac Tac! Enjoy!
To enjoy the July 14 fireworks with a dreamlike panoramic view, head to a brand-new rooftop spot. This season, a new gem is making its debut on Paris’s legendary Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Its name? Aqua Kyoto! Starting June 2, this new rooftop terrace will unveil its breathtaking views of the Arc de Triomphe, the Grand Palais, the Eiffel Tower, and Montmartre. Want to check out this brand-new rooftop? We’ll tell you all about it right here!
Le Joy immerses you in a haven of serenity with a view of the Eiffel Tower, complete with sashimi and sake cocktails. For a chic and discreet spot to enjoy the National Holiday from above, head to Le Joy. Perched on the 6th floor of the luxury hotel Le Fouquet’s, this rooftop features a cozy, green terrace, a Japanese menu served as tapas, a whiskey & sake bar, and a view of the Eiffel Tower. Open Wednesday through Sunday from 5:00 PM to midnight, it’s an intimate spot perfect for sunny days.
A park, yes, but not like any other! For a more “hidden gem” option before or after the July 14 fireworks, head to the Buttes-Chaumont: a carousel, sandbox, duck pond, swings, balloon vendor, puppet show, and pony rides. In short, a well-rounded outing that’s perfect for all ages!
A small, almost invisible urban vineyard in the heart of the 19th arrondissement. For a more intimate vantage point on the evening of July 14, head to Butte Bergeyre. Located in the 19th arrondissement, it is home to the Clos des Chaufourniers, a micro-vineyard planted in the 1990s and maintained by a neighborhood association. Accessible on foot from the Bolivar or Buttes-Chaumont metro stations, the site features quiet alleyways, community gardens, and views of Montmartre.
To enjoy the July 14 fireworks away from the most popular spots, opt for a more secluded vantage point: the Avre Footbridge, a century-old gem designed by Gustave Eiffel that offers a magnificent view of the Eiffel Tower. For a family outing that’s a refreshing change from the classic Parisian attractions, head to the Avre Footbridge. Designed by Gustave Eiffel and approximately 450 m long, this pedestrian bridge perched high above Saint-Cloud offers a remarkable panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, and the Bois de Boulogne. Little known to Parisians, it charms young and old alike with its metal structure, streetlights, and various vantage points.
A chic dinner on the Seine with breathtaking views, gourmet cuisine, and DJ sets. To watch the July 14 fireworks in Paris in an ultra-elegant setting, opt for a dinner cruise aboard the Diamant Bleu: a modern yacht offering exceptional panoramic views of Paris, refined cuisine, and a musical atmosphere featuring a live singer and DJ sets. The experience starts at 89 euros, making it ideal for a romantic dinner, a birthday, or a special evening.
