Paris terrasses map, French apero letter

Have you visited le Colbert at the Louvre? I have to admit I hadn't till researching Paris terrasses. Please visit my INSTAGRAM for more pics.

The views are gorgeous, including the Pavillon Turgot just across the courtyard.

Not that there's anything wrong with the terrasse le Colbert?

Though a Parisian bird might decide to obstruct your view.

The latest Paris map is a collection of sky-high terrasses for knock-your-socks-off views.

For some unknown reason they all sport the exact same umbrellas?

Quite a few are on the top floors of Paris' museums.

Noura's Zyriad has top-of-the-world views of Ile Saint Louis and beyond in l'Institute Monde Arabe.

The musee Branly terrasse in the 7th has limited visiting hours and a small charge.

Between 2 - 6 pm. Or you can break the bank and book restaurant Les Ombres in the evening hours for a champagne celebration. Do not expect to waft in sans reservations. Tel:01.47.53.68.00

Anyone can go up to the 8th floor in Galeries Lafayette and get eye-level with the Opera Garnier and the Eiffel Tower. FYI Printemps' terrasse is closed for renovations for a few years.

The Club Cube may close early but you can still hang out and wander till the store closes.

Top of the French list of evening aperitifs is the orangey Aperol spritzer

Even le Figaro's informational apero map is orange-colored. Naturally drinks cost a tad more in Paris than in the sticks. Big surprise.

The latest Parisbreakfast letter will keep you up to date on what to order at those lovely top floor terrasses. Don't forget the big deal is the accompanying munchies; crackers, olives or round-the-world tidbits. If you can't make it to Paris for an apero, there are Louvre watercolor views in my Etsy shop. By the way order just a Perrier at the Louvre terrasse or zero. Thanks for reading Parisbreakfast. You can receive Parisbreakfast letters, maps and watercolors in your mailbox.

Bon Mardi!
