Rooftop Le Printemps Haussmann in Paris

Printemps Haussmann: the 7e Ciel terrace, on the roof of the department store

A free terrace at the top of Printemps Femme

The panoramic terrace of Printemps Haussmann is on the 7th floor of Printemps Femme, at 64 boulevard Haussmann. You go up through the store: walk across the second-hand area, then push open the door at the far end. Access is free, with no obligation to buy. From the roof, the view sweeps across the rooftops of Paris to the Eiffel Tower. Not to be confused with Perruche, the restaurant on the 9th floor of another of the store's buildings, Printemps de l'Homme.

An open-air seasonal restaurant

From early May to the end of September, the terrace hosts an open-air seasonal restaurant, with a short menu of fresh dishes for sharing and drinks to enjoy facing the rooftops of Paris. In bad weather, opening may be cancelled on some days.

An ice rink over the festive season

From early November to early January, a small free ice rink is set up on the terrace, open in time slots booked in advance. The rest of the year, the roof also serves as a setting for fashion shows and one-off events, such as open-air electronic music sets.

Practical information

The terrace is free to access during store opening hours. In season, the restaurant opens every day, usually from 10am to 8pm; booking is online. Ice rink slots must be booked in advance. Getting there: Havre-Caumartin metro (lines 3 and 9), right by the store.
