Avant le sunset...
Fashionable friends.
Après le sunset.
As residents of the Montparnasse disctrict, it is almost despicable that it has taken us this long to make it to the top. The tower is actually a fascinating, and little known by American tourists. In 1969 Presdient Georges Pomidou created quite a large controversy in Paris, as well as all of France, when he allowed construction on the Montparnasse Tower to begin. Pompidou was an advocate of the tower, as his desire to modernize Paris was no secret. The tower was met with much disapproval by the citizens of Paris, as the tower basically ruins the beautiful architecture found at every turn. People also did not want this sleek, ugly building overshadowing the Eiffel Tower. But now, it is a wonderful way to enjoy a panoramic view of the city while being able to see all the monuments you would usually be atop.
Alyssa and Lucia joined Molly on her 21st Birthday to celebrate with a drink on the 56th floor at Le Ciel de Paris. While the drinks were a little pricy, the experience was worth it. I mean seriously, check out those views...
