(the perch)
This stunning rooftop bar is 7 flights up with a view from each corner. It is found on an unlikely industrial office street with no sign or indication of what could be found inside. Feeling certain that I had the correct address, it still made me a bit uneasy that I had led Peter (Peter's Paris) and Virginia (Paris Through My Lens) on a wild goose-chase. We walked through large (open) industrial doors into an open space and found an open winding staircase.
When we reached the top of the building (by the elevator) we found a delightful 360° view of Paris. Looking at the bar, it made me think of a Moorish tent in the middle of the desert. We enjoyed beverages and took many photos before leaving this oasis in the 11ième arrondissement.
Do not miss this and get there early as the rooftop is limited to 110 persons. There is a wonderful restaurant on the floor below for which you will need reservations.

Gosh Genie what an unexpected and unique experience in Paris. Glad you found it.

Hi Genie ... what a find. I'm in the midst of planning my next trip to France so will jot this in my "Things to do in Paris" list.
This time I'm venturing further afield to include Brittany, Provence ( to see the fields of sunflowers & red poppies ) Cote D'Azure and then down to Italy.
Le Perchoir is great for views of Paris .... but NOT at this time of year!
Très joli post !
Je ne savais pas qu'on chassait l'oie sauvage à Paris non loin de mon ancien quartier.
Glad it turned out well for you Genie. Perhaps you found a new favourite place in Paris!
How wonderful! I would love to see the view from up there!
Looks great. Was a long time ago on the roof of la Samaritaine. Was open for public but you had to search for the entrance stair on the upper floor. There you had also a stunning view of Paris. Don't know of that is possible anymore today.
Stunning!
That is amazing. Have a good week Diane
It's different!Thanks for sharing the new discovery!

Looks beautiful and fun -- especially with Peter and Virginia!
Looks like a fun spot to have a cocktail...in summer!!!
Next time, for sure (whatever the weather)!
Bet there are some nice views from there.
This looks terrific, Genie, but not at all what I think of when I think of Paris. Hey, something new!
I shared this photo with a friend today who marveled at this delightful place you found!
Quite a setting for a bar!
