This is a tough decision, but in my opinion the most beautiful view of Paris is on top of Notre-Dame Cathedral. From above we can see all the beauty of Île de la Cité, a small island on the River Seine, where the medieval city was founded and also where Notre-Dame itself is located. There are many steps to climb (close to 400), but if you can go all the way to top an amazing view awaits as a reward. Plus you will get so see the famous gargoyles!
Entrance is on left side facing Notre-Dame.
