]]> A View of Les InvalidesAnd I don’t mean Paris Hilton!  Just about everyone who goes to Paris goes up to the top of the Eiffel Tower for its spectacular view.

Well this is my list of other great places that you should definitely go to the top of for a fantastic view. (These are in no particular order; they’re all great for one reason or another!) Yes, I’ll include the Eiffel Tower because if I don’t, someone will be sure to say, “Where’s the Eiffel Tower?”

The top 10 are:

 1.     Eiffel Tower
 2.     Arc of Triumph
 3.     Notre-Dame Cathedral
 4.     Grande Arche de la Defense
 5.     Pompidou Center *
 6.     Galeries Lafayette
 7.     Institut du Monde Arabe §
 8.     Samaritaine +
 9.     Montparnasse Tower
10.    Steps of the Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre
