Meet Santa Claus at Paris Montparnasse Observatory

This year, Christmas is being celebrated at an altitude of over 200 meters! Paris Montparnasse Observatory is decked out in its finest attire to welcome Father Christmas himself on certain days in December.

From the top of the Paris Montparnasse Observatory, visitors of all ages can meet Santa Claus in a magical, luminous atmosphere, surrounded by a setting specially designed for the occasion. The dedicated space will offer a warm and typically “Christmas spirit,” ideal for capturing this tender and unique moment and leaving with a souvenir photo.

Adults won’t be forgotten either: the spirit of Christmas and the beauty of winter will permeate the entire visit. Take the opportunity to snap a selfie alone or with friends on the terrace or on the 56th floor, with the Eiffel Tower in the background, framed by silhouettes of fir trees, or leave a memento of your visit by writing your dearest wish on a snowflake card! And don’t forget to treat yourself (or someone else) to a souvenir gift in the shop or enjoy a sweet treat at the Reys corner.

A moment of poetry, sweetness, and celebration at the summit, to enjoy this last month of the year 2025!
