2022-08-05T16:18:41.298Z


Who said the East was sleeping? From Nation to Gare de Lyon via Colonel Fabien or Saint-Ouen, our most beautiful addresses in the summer to enjoy the rooftops of Paris.


Laho Rooftop, Paris 12th

Hidden on the 18th floor of an office tower not far from the Gare de Lyon, this green rooftop limited to 200 places continues to panic Parisians.

Perched 60 meters high, the 360 ​​degree view of the capital is breathtaking.

And even if the house cocktails are not cheap (€16), this is the spot you need to enjoy a magical sunset with Paris in the background.

Gourmands will share savory platters (€28) of smoked salmon, bresaola, speck or duck rillettes, not forgetting the IGP cheeses or the unmissable burrata with fresh herbs from Ile de France.

On the top floor of an anonymous building on rue Crespin du Gast, the elevator doors open at 6 p.m. on the roofs of Paris with a breathtaking view of the Sacré Coeur.

Opened last year a few steps from the Place de la Nation, the Hotel Paradiso is the first cinema-hotel in the world.

Created by the Karmitz brothers at the head of the mk2 film group, the place offers unique cinema experiences, in particular with the "Rooftop Paradiso", a giant open-air screen - on the 8th floor of the hotel - offering a view of all of Paris. .

Every Sunday at 10 p.m., open-air cinema screenings are offered, another way to see the greatest masterpieces of the 7th art again with a drink in hand.

The Eastern Perch, Paris 10th

We love the festive atmosphere in this hanging garden decor of 400 m2.

Le Perchoir / Photo press

At a time when some board the TGV for Colmar or Bar-le-Duc, others climb on the roof of the Gare de l'Est.

Brilliantly restored in 2008, the Gare de l'Est is one of the most beautiful in Paris.

With its classic 1850s architecture, overlooked by a glass and steel half-rosette and its pediment decorated with statues, this site formerly called "Strasbourg station" closes off the perspective of the north-south axis pierced by Baron Haussmann.

From the terrace, the rather unexpected view opens up to the Saint-Jacques tower.

The atmosphere is festive in this hanging garden decor of 400 m2 with benches in metal and wood structure, white cushions and rattan chairs.

The music is also in the spotlight: we dance there to a fine musical selection, enough to really enjoy the summer.

Where are we going?

After access through the Saint-Martin hall, to the right of the main entrance, you pass a control and then a second before climbing to the first floor.

Mama Shelter Paris East, Paris 20th

On the Mama East terrace, you can enjoy the tranquility of the neighborhood.

Nearly 15 years after its opening and even if the hotel chain of the Ennismore group is no longer presented, the Mama on rue de Bagnolet is still in the running.

Perched on its very large terrace, you can enjoy the tranquility of the neighborhood, a bit out of the way, while enjoying a barbecue with friends... Unless you prefer to come and have a brunch and take the opportunity to sweeten the pill .

The best moment is surely at nightfall, when the colored garlands light up the terrace and the sky of Paris ignites.

The little extra?

Ping-pong tables and table football, conducive to moments of conviviality.

Halfway between a classic youth hostel and a boutique hotel, The People hostels offer a different way to discover Paris.

At the foot of the Place de la Nation, this second establishment, designed by the architect firm Michaelis Boyd, opened its doors last year.

We fell in love with the eco-responsible building made of wood, with a green roof, inhabited by a few beehives to encourage biodiversity.

But the nugget of the establishment is undoubtedly its terrace!

As a continuation of the bar-restaurant, it offers one of the most beautiful views of Paris.

Well seen, the cuisine is locavore with finely sourced products.

Good to know:

there are no reservations here, first come, first served.
