THE MORNING LIST
Hanging garden or urban cocoon, rooftops have the power to prolong holidays or give an idea of them. For chatting, dancing, having a drink or something else if you feel like it.
La Bellevilloise, for calm and exoticism
Of course, the address is known. And the news of the opening of this rooftop spread quickly throughout the capital. After a good decade of work and significant investment, La Bellevilloise is offering a 580-square-metre rooftop terrace intended as a hanging garden, with around 200 seats. The decor is spot on, with an antique fountain, a huge world map in the middle of Moroccan tables, plants in huge pots and colourful cushions. This rooftop is made for relaxing and chatting, not for dancing (to avoid neighbourly problems, there is no music). On the cocktail menu (14 euros), creations by the barman who talks about them with enthusiasm. Peanut butter and whisky, pistachio and ouzo or even tequila and hibiscus… As for the cuisine, snack boards, artisanal ice creams and Liège waffles. People who plan ahead will appreciate reservations. Need it be said that the view of Paris is breathtaking?
Le Toit de La Bellevilloise, 19-21, rue Boyer, Paris 20my. Open on weekdays from 4pm to midnight, on weekends from 3pm to midnight.
Laho, for the dizzying view
At 60 metres up on this rooftop, you might almost think you’re the retired guy from the cartoons. up thereThe height is impressive. Not to mention the 360-degree view of the Seine, the back of Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower, Montparnasse, the Sacré-Cœur on the right and La Défense in the background. If you want to enjoy music and dancing, sit on the clock side of the Gare de Lyon. The rest of the rooftop is rather quiet. Special mention should be made of the viewing platform, the most pleasant spot. On the menu, all the cocktails are house creations (15 euros). For lunch, the savoury dishes cost 29 euros but are generous in quantity. As it is not possible to book, it is advisable to arrive as soon as it opens, at 6 pm, or around 8.30 or 10 pm. During the week, entry is free, but at weekends, DJ nights are charged: Afrobeat atmosphere on Friday nights and commercial electro on Saturday nights.
