Le Rooftop, Paris

За городом, над цветущими улицами Парижа в отеле Peninsula, находится Le Rooftop - убежище спокойствия среди шумного мегаполиса. Обставленное пышными зелеными растениями и мягкими диванами, это тайное место гордится одними из лучших видов на французскую столицу - и изысканным обедом. Советуем посетить его поздним вечером, после шопинга в La Vallée Village, чтобы увидеть зажженную башню Эйфеля.
