Tour Montparnasse is a dark monolith of a skyscraper near the center of Paris. Built in 1972, it was the first and last skyscraper built within the center of Paris, while all others are located further away near the outer limits of the city. While it doesn’t mesh well with the rest of the beautiful architecture in Paris, it does have one major redeeming quality – gorgeous of views of a skyscraper-less Paris with the one other gigantic structure, The Eiffel Tower, plainly visible. It was this particular attraction that led me to spend nearly 4 hours on the 56th floor, eating some ridiculously expensive crêpes and awaiting sunset.
