The Printemps Rooftop Terrace

Printemps Rooftop – A Hidden View Near Galeries Lafayette

Just a few steps from Galeries Lafayette, the Printemps department store also has a rooftop terrace that is free to access. It’s slightly less known than its famous neighbor, which makes it a bit calmer and easier to enjoy.

From the terrace you get excellent views of the city, including the Eiffel Tower, the Opéra Garnier, and the classic Paris rooftops. Because it is less crowded, it can be one of the best spots to take photos in peace.

The store itself is also worth a look, especially its art deco interiors and beautiful stained-glass dome. Many visitors combine a stop at both Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, since they are side by side on Boulevard Haussmann.

Access is straightforward: you can ride the elevator up through the store to reach the terrace. Once on top, you’ll have a panoramic view of Paris that feels both central and authentic – and it’s completely free.
