Montparnasse - Tour Maine-Montparnasse
The whole district is now dominated by the 209m/685ft high Tour Maine-Montparnasse at 33 Avenue du Maine. Designed by Beaudoin, Cassan, de Marien and Saubot, it was built between 1969 and 1972. From the panoramic restaurant on the 56th floor and the open terrace on the 59th there are extensive views over Paris reaching for up to 40km/25mi, fully comparable with those from the Eiffel Tower; there are telescopes to bring the views even closer.
