The domes of Paris form distinctive elements of the city silhouette. The Invalides with its golden dome, the Pantheon with its neoclassical structure, and the Grand Palais with its glass dome demonstrate the architectural diversity of the city. The department stores Galeries Lafayette and Le Printemps feature Art Nouveau glass cupolas.
The world's major shopping malls have become much more than just places to shop. People spend the day there, sometimes even the evening, between restaurants, attractions, and relaxation zones. Some host adventure parks, others museums, an ice rink, or a ski slope in a desert climate. Each complex tells something about its era and city. In Dubai, galleries compete with futuristic architecture. In Bangkok, centers combine luxury, cuisine, and entertainment. In North America, the spaces are so large they resemble full little cities with internal streets and themed zones. From continent to continent, these sites attract millions of visitors seeking new experiences. This selection brings together the most impressive centers, offering total immersion through large-scale shopping, varied entertainment, and ever-evolving scenery.
Paris has dozens of establishments situated at heights, offering different views of the city from their terraces and glassed-in spaces. From Perchoir Marais on the seventh floor with its 360-degree view of Notre-Dame and the Centre Pompidou, to Georges restaurant located at the top of the Centre Pompidou, these venues use their positions to show the capital from new perspectives. The Terrass Hotel in Montmartre lets visitors observe the Eiffel Tower from higher ground, while Les Ombres at the Musée du Quai Branly is only 100 meters from the Iron Lady. These locations are spread across different districts of the city and offer various options depending on the time of day. Some places like 43 Up on the Roof or La Vue at Hôtel Concorde Lafayette focus on cocktails and bar ambiance; others like L'Oiseau Blanc at Peninsula Paris or Les Ombres emphasize French cuisine. Several combine restaurant and bar functions, such as Nüba in the 13th arrondissement, which also integrates music into its offering. These heights allow rediscovering Paris while enjoying the cuisine and drinks provided by each venue.
