	Tour Montparnasse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tour Montparnasse (Montparnasse Tower) is an office skyscraper located in Paris, France, in the area of Montparnasse.
		Built on top of the Paris Metro station "Montparnasse-Bienvenüe", the 58 floors of the tower are mainly occupied by offices, while two floors are open to the public for viewing the city; the 56th floor with a restaurant, and the terrace on the top floor.
		The design of the tower predates architectural trends that placed high importance on a view of the outside, and so only offices around the perimeter of each floor have windows (more modern skyscrapers are often designed to provide a window for every office, if possible).

	Eiffel Tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eiffel Tower (pronounced /ˌaɪfəl 'taʊɚ/; French: La Tour Eiffel, pronounced /tuʀ ɛfɛl/) is an iron tower built on the Champ de Mars beside the River Seine in Paris.
		At the time of its construction in 1889, the tower replaced the Washington Monument as the tallest structure in the world, a title it retained until 1930, when New York City's Chrysler Building (319 m/1063.33 ft tall) was completed (although the tower was still taller if the respective spires of the two structures were excluded).
		The tower was met with resistance from the public when it was built, with many calling it an eyesore (Novelist Guy de Maupassant ate at a restaurant at the tower regularly, because it was the one place in Paris he was sure he wouldn't see it).

		Montparnasse Tower is a business center (almost as tall as Eiffel?) but has a rooftop bar-if it's clear weather, fun to see the Eiffel tower from there.
		The Montparnasse Tower is a 59-story tower, the tallest in Paris by far, and considered by many to be an eyesore.
		However, the view of the city from the top is great--better than that available from the Eiffel Tower (the Eiffel Tower is considerably taller, but the Montparnasse Tower has a very nice, open observation deck--not as open as it used to be, however, paranoia oblige).
