Paris, France is among the cities hosting the most highrise buildings in Europe. Most of Paris skyscrapers are located in 3 specific districts: La Défense, the 13th arrondissement, and the Front de Seine (in the 15th arrondissement).

La Défense, which is the largest business district in Europe, is located west of the city proper in the heart of the département Hauts-de-Seine. Unlike the other districts, La Défense is dominated mainly by office buildings. The 13th arrondissement towers are mostly residential, most of them being at the south of the arrondissement in what is, today, Chinatown. Most of the buildings of the Front de Seine, which is in close proximity to the Eiffel Tower, were built in the 1970s and 1980s and are of mixed use, being both commercial and residential centers.

Other skyscrapers have been sparsely built in the Paris agglomeration, mainly near the périphérique. These include such structures as Les Mercuriales in Bagnolet, the Tour Pleyel in Saint-Denis, and the Hôtel Concorde Lafayette, located near the Porte Maillot.
