Views of Paris from the Institut du Monde Arabe

When you visit the Institut du Monde Arabe, don’t miss out on a free view of Paris. Take the glass lift to the 9th floor and you’ll be treated to panoramic views over the Seine.

From the open terrace, you can enjoy a sweeping view which includes Notre-Dame de Paris, Ile-de-la-Cité, Ile-St-Louis as well as the top of Centre Pompidou and the column of the Bastille. Or you can simply marvel at the rooftops that are so quintessentially Paris.
