Situated on the 7th floor, the Lounge Bar View, with a surface area of 50 m2 (indoors, excluding the terrace), offers an excep- tional view of Paris and the Eiffel Tower and can host some 30 or so people. The Lounge Bar View is available for hire for the organization of all types of professional or private events. The salons next to the Lounge bar are also available for private hire and in total offer 130 m2 with a capacity to host 100 or so people. In addition to the room rental, other services such as a cocktail buffet may be arranged. Design wise, the Lounge Bar View has had a makeover for the new season: walls in slate and industrial style furniture make the place more cosy while at the same time retaining a modern look. NB the prestigious champagne house Laurent-Perrier is a partner of Lounge Bar View for the second year and is offering original fruit purée-based cocktails. > Lounge Bar View Novotel Paris Vaugirard Montparnasse 257 rue de Vaugirard, Paris 15th Tel +33 (0) 1 40 45 10 00 www.novotel.com/fr/hotel-1978-novotel-paris-vaugirard-montparnasse/index.shtml The Pavillon Montsouris The Pavillon Montsouris is situated in one of the loveliest parks in the French capital, in the 14th arrondissement in the south of Paris.
