The 11 Best Rooftop Bars in Paris (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 11 picks

The best rooftop bars in Paris in 2026 are Terrass" Hotel in Montmartre, Le Perchoir Ménilmontant, ROOF at Hôtel Madame Rêve, The Shed near the Opéra and TOO TacTac for skyline views. For the highest view, Skybar sits on the 32nd floor of Montparnasse.

Paris has strict height limits, so most rooftops are modest in altitude but offer wide views over the zinc roofs and the monuments. Many are open-air and only run from spring to autumn; some hotel terraces close for winter or move indoors. We checked each venue in November 2026 and say below which are open now and which are closed for winter. Always check the venue's own page the day you go, because weather and private events change opening hours.

$$$ Upmarket

The rooftop bar of Terrass" Hotel sits on the seventh floor of a hotel on the quieter southern slope of Montmartre. Views run across the rooftops of Paris to the Eiffel Tower, and the terrace is heated in winter and can be covered depending on the weather.

The hotel's page says the rooftop bar is open to non-guests and takes no reservations. It serves cocktails, mocktails, hot drinks and finger food, and opens from mid-afternoon most days.
