In Paris, a view is pure gold. Thanks to the city’s elegant low-rise architecture, you’re often hemmed in by buildings of the same height — lovely, yes, but not always ideal for taking in that sweeping skyline. Still, Paris is full of charming streetscapes to gaze at. And when you do manage to get just a little higher? Suddenly, the rooftops stretch out before you, with the Eiffel Tower, Sacré-Cœur, and other icons rising proudly above it all. That’s the magic moment. It’s exactly why so many travelers hunt for Paris hotels with balconies and terraces. Some come with hefty price tags (worth it, if you ask us), but we’ve also uncovered some hidden gems that won’t break the bank. Because having your very own Parisian perch? That’s the kind of detail that transforms a trip into something unforgettable.
