Few Parisian terraces (if any!) can rival the breathtaking spectacle offered by the rooftop of La Défense's Grande Arche . Opened in 2017 after 7 years of construction, the rooftop of the Grande Arche offers a 360° panoramic view of the La Défense district and the streets of the capital. An incredible spectacle right under your feet.
Entirely redesigned by Valode & Pistre architectes, this 11,000 m² space offers a unique promenade deck.
To reach this splendid terrace, perched on the 35th floor, you can take one of the 4 panoramic elevators that transport you to a height of 110 meters, then to the suspended belvedere-garden and finally onto the famous promenade bridge, built in thehistoric axis of Paris.

The rooftop also houses a 1,200 m² exhibition space, where exhibitions, retrospectives and meetings with the public and press will be held.

Finally, the Grande Arche de La Détense rooftop features two culinary offerings. The first is a 130m² bistronomic restaurant with seating for up to 50. Its name? Les Jardins de Joséphine. The establishment, run by chef Jean-Christian Dumonet, offers healthy, fresh, home-cooked, seasonal cuisine (€50 average bill). The second upscale fast-food offering delights those in a hurry with Lina's (€12 average).
