Printemps Rooftop Terrace

The rooftop terrace at Printemps Haussmann, known in French as the Terrasse du 7e Ciel, occupies the seventh floor of the Printemps Femme building at 64 Boulevard Haussmann in the 9th arrondissement. The floor was closed to the public from the 1960s until a later renovation reopened it as a viewing point, reached by lift and then escalator from the shop floors below. Access to the terrace is free and requires no ticket. The outlook runs across the rooftops of central Paris and takes in the Eiffel Tower, the Opera Garnier and Sacre-Coeur. The store opens Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 20:00 and Sunday from 11:00 to 20:00, and the terrace keeps to store hours. Part of the terrace operates seasonally as a paid bar and picnic concession, generally from May to September, with tables requiring reservation; the free viewing area remains open alongside it. The nearest metro stations are Chaussee d'Antin-La Fayette on lines 7 and 9 and Havre-Caumartin on lines 3 and 9, with Auber RER station close by.
