Le Rooftop du Brach, a confidential terrace perched in a vegetable garden with a view of the Eiffel Tower

If you're constantly on the lookout for the most beautiful rooftops in Paris, if you're looking for the idyllic terrace to spend a relaxed moment with friends or lovers, how about a trip to the Rooftop du Brach? Head for the 16th arrondissement in the Passy district to climb to the 7ᵉ sky!

Indeed, it's on the 7th floor of the Brach Hôtel that this confidential, verdant nugget is hidden. For the summer season, the rooftop kitchen garden is transformed into a veritable terrace, welcoming you every day from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. (weather permitting). Numerous deckchairs and tables have been set up between the rows of aromatic plants and other fruits and vegetables from the kitchen garden, amidst the chickens that share this breathtaking view with us.

From Montmartre in the distance to La Défense and the beautiful Eiffel Tower in the background, Paris is at our feet. In fine weather, a bar is set up on the terrace, and a pretty cocktail menu by Jérémy Bacquet awaits you, accompanied by a basket of fruit and vegetables from the Maraicher.
