The Best Eiffel Tower Photo Spots – The Paris Photographer

Looking for the best Eiffel Tower photo spots? Explore this guide created by a team of passionate Parisian photographers . When you travel to Paris, the must-have picture is probably of the Iron Lady. But if it’s your first time in Paris, then you’re probably not aware of the multitude of locations that offer a great view over the Eiffel Tower. Hopefully, this page will provide all the information that you need to know about all the great photo locations with the Eiffel.

We’d like to mention that this guide is primarily focused to help our Paris photo shoots clients decide on their favorite locations. It is also helpful for couples planning and Eiffel Tower wedding. However, you can take advantage of this local knowledge even if you’re not taking professional pictures.

1. Trocadéro is the best Eiffel Tower photo spot.

The Esplanade de Trocadéro is the place that offers the most spectacular view over Eiffel Tower. While some renovation works are still in place, most of the photo spots are now available . The aim of the works is to build the largest garden in Paris, with a 1.6km long green space around the Eiffel Tower to allow pedestrians and cyclists to move around freely. Explore the list of works for the Tower on The Local .

What spots around Trocadéro are not available anymore?

There is one spot that is permanently not available for pictures: the wall . Meaning that it’s not possible to take photos sitting on the wall anymore. The reason for this is that the top of the wall was modified to make sitting impossible. See the photos below.

This means that such pictures are not possible anymore. See below.

Eiffel Tower Photo Shoot

We are a friendly team of professional and English speaking photographers and videographers based in Paris . If you’d like to take breathtaking pictures by the Eiffel Tower, we’d be incredibly happy to be your Paris photographers.

What spots around Trocadéro are available?

During the Olympic games (plus a little bit before and a little bit after) some of the main spots around the Eiffel Tower are inaccessible. Please take a look at the article that covers the Olympic games and what spots are available for photos.

If you are wondering, what alternative Eiffel Tower photo spots can be found in Paris. Feel free to explore the list of locations below and ask your photographer to put together a personalized itinerary based on the inspiration images that you like the most.

2. Avenue de Camoëns. Second best Eiffel Tower photo spot.

This is a quiet street that offers a great view over the Eiffel Tower. The uniqueness of this place is the beautiful architecture that surrounds the street. The typical Haussmanian buildings offer that one of a kind Parisian charm.

3. Bir Hakeim bridge (Inception bridge)

The Bir Hakeim bridge, famous from the movie Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio has one of the most spectacular views overlooking the Eiffel Tower. The uniqueness of this Eiffel Tower spot is the fact that the bridge itself is beautiful and can make for a cool backdrop for your Paris pictures.

4. The Seine River – Romantic Eiffel Tower Photo Spot

There is something about water that makes it romantic. Many couples choose to celebrate their marriage on a river cruise on the Seine River. There is a great spot close to the Tower that offers a gorgeous view and it’s perfect for romantic pictures. If the water means something to you as a couple, then this spot should be on the list.

5. Promenade Marie de Roumanie

This spot is probably one of the prettiest around the Eiffel, especially during the warm season. There are several Parisian benches that are great props for pictures. However, the uniqueness of this location are the blossoming roses. Red, purple, white, yellow, simply choose the color that matches your photo shoot outfits .

6. Rue de l’Université

This cute little street is right next to the Eiffel Tower. The view is quite spectacular due to the proximity of the tower, which measures 1063 ft .

7. Pasarelle Debilly

This pedestrian bridge is in walking distance from the Eiffel Tower and the well known exquisite restaurant Monsieur Bleu . More and more people leave their love-locks on this bridge (we don’t encourage such gestures by the way, to preserve the looks of the city), so in your pictures, you’ll see these as well.

8. Rue Saint Dominique

This spot is a bit further from the Eiffel Tower, close to the Café Le Recrutement. The typical Parisian buildings and a street that breaths Parisian air are the ideal setting for romantic street pictures with the Eiffel Tower.

9. Alexander 3 bridge

If all the other spots that we mentioned earlier are within walking distance from the Tower, to get to the Alexander 3 bridge we recommend to take public transportation or taxi/uber. The bridge is probably one of the best photography spots in Paris . The incredibly elegant architecture and the beautiful golden details make it perfect for romantic photos. Plus, you can get the Eiffel Tower in your pictures.

Café Photos

If you are on a Paris photo session itinerary, after so many pictures with the Eiffel Tower and walking, you’d appreciate a strategic stop in a Parisian café. We recommend Casé Castel that is very close to the Tower and has great cappuccino. If you have booked a multi-hours photo shoot, then you can change outfits here for your next location. If not, then it would be fun to finish your photo session with a few piece-of-life pictures. Enjoying a delicious croissant and cappuccino.

We take pleasure in creating beautiful images for our clients in Paris, especially around the most iconic landmark: the Eiffel Tower. We would love to take your photos too!

If you happen to travel across the channel and visit London, know that there are many beautiful photo spots there too.

But before we look at them, here are some of the Eiffel Tower photography tips to help you.

Before You Go, Here’s How to Plan Your Visit To Paris: Practical Quick Tips

Eiffel Tower photography tips

Go at the right time

Plan to go early in the evening for a sunrise Eiffel Tower photo shoot or late in the evening for the sunset shoot.

You’ll get magnificent photos while still beating the crowds as most of these places receive very few people at those times.

Plan to walk a lot so wear comfortable shoes

Since most of the Eiffel Tower photo spots are not far from each other, the best way is to plan to see them on the same day especially if you just have a few days in Paris.

This means that you’ll walk a lot and the best way not to get worn out easily is by wearing comfortable walking shoes.

Pack the right essentials for the day

If the idea is to be outside for a number of hours, you’re better off carrying your day’s essentials. Below are a few things you should take with you.

• Extra batteries and memory card: These memory cards will work well since you’ll be taking lots of pictures.
• Re-usable Collapsible water bottle: Paris has a number of drinking water fountains so it’s better to take this reusable collapsible water bottle that you can just keep refilling instead of buying bottled water.
• A Power bank: If you plan to use your phone for some photos, your battery will run so take this portable power bank to stay connected all the time.
• Phone: Duh! There is no way you can forget it
• Anti-theft backpack: You’ll need such an anti-theft daypack to keep all your day’s travel items and since pickpockets are common, especially in crowded places, be sure that you can see it at all times. Also, do not randomly place it or any of your travel items on the ground without anyone watching them.

Now that you know some of the Eiffel Tower photography tips, let’s look at the best Eiffel Tower photo spots not to miss.  

The Best Eiffel Tower Photo Spots

Read on to find out the best places for Eiffel Tower photos.

1. Trocadéro square

This is probably the most famous spot to go for an Eiffel Tower photo shoot and one of my favorite places actually. And since it is directly opposite the Eiffel Tower and a little bit raised, you’re bound to get the best view of the Eiffel Tower.

However, since it’s a popular Eiffel Tower Photo Spot, you can expect to find huge crowds and the best way to beat them is by either going early in the morning for a sunrise Eiffel Tower photo shoot or late in the evening at sunset.

At that time, the crowds will be fewer and you get to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower at the most beautiful times of the day.

And a big plus about the Trocadéro is that you get to take photos of the Eiffel Tower from various angles and spots with the notable ones being the Staircase , the main Trocadéro square which creates a beautiful reflection if you visit at the right time, the Fountain of Warsaw which creates a magnificent backdrop of the Eiffel tower photos and not forgetting the Beautiful Trocadéro gardens which brings out the beautiful contrasting greenery in the Eiffel tower pic.

With all those features, it’s not hard to see why the Trocadéro is one of the most famous and best Eiffel Tower photo spots as you can get a variety of beautiful pictures of the Eiffel tower from just one spot.

2. Champs De Mars

Want to get up close Eiffel Tower pictures, then head to Champs de Mars ! It is a beautiful garden right next to the Eiffel Tower.

It might seem a bit small but it’s actually quite big and you can take Eiffel Tower photos from various angles. This spot is particularly more beautiful if you visit during springtime as it offers some of the best cherry blossoms in Paris.

Imagine a photo of the Eiffel Tower with beautiful pink flowers in it – it can’t get any prettier than this! Spring is actually my favorite season to photograph the Eiffel Tower at Champs de Mars.

However, even if you can’t visit Paris in springtime , any time of the year is a great time to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower.

And if you want to even take it a notch higher and get some of the best pictures of the Eiffel Tower, you can plan a picnic right at the footsteps of the Iron Lady at this gorgeous park.

3. Rue de l’Université

If you’re standing in front of the Eiffel Tower with the Champs de Mars behind you, just head left and you’ll find this popular Eiffel Tower photo spot, Rue de l’Université .

It’s one of the popular Instagram spots in Paris so you can be sure to find people here, and if it’s not that, you’ll find cars parked so you’ll just have to find a way to take pics of the Eiffel Tower at the right moment to miss the cars or the people.

What makes this street popular and beautiful is that you get incredible views of the Eiffel Tower, together with a cobblestoned street and the typical Parisian architecture in one photo.

In my opinion, it’s the perfect place to get the best pictures of the Eiffel Tower. However, be sure to go to the exact spot as this street is quite big (the 10th longest in Paris to be exact), so if you’re not keen enough, you might end up in the wrong spot.

So to make sure that you go to the Eiffel Tower photoshoot spot, I’ve included an interactive map in this post; you just need to click on it and you’ll know where exactly to go.

4. Passerelle Debilly

One of the beautiful Eiffel Tower Photo spots is the Passerelle Debilly ! This bridge that connects pedestrians from one side of the Seine to the other – from  Quai de New York  to the  Quai Branly is the perfect spot if you want to take Eiffel Tower pictures with the Seine River in them.

With the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, the love locks, and the bridge in one frame, you’re guaranteed to have a spectacular Eiffel Tower pic.

5. Square Rapp

If you love taking street photos of the Eiffel Tower, then you’ll love Square Rapp . It is a hidden gem off Avenue Rapp in the 7th arrondissement of Paris.

The square overlooks the Eiffel Tower and various Haussmannian architecture-style buildings creating a beautiful Parisian charm and a one-of-a-kind Eiffel Tower photo op.

And, unlike other Eiffel Tower photo spots, Square Rapp is still unknown to many or others just ignore it, which means that you can take countless photos and take in this Eiffel Tower street view without the crowds.

And while in this spot, don’t just stop at taking pics of the Eiffel Tower, take some time to walk down the entire Avenue Rapp and you’ll be treated to secret but beautiful places in Paris you didn’t think existed right in the heart of the capital; like the Lavirotte Building and its controversial doorway known as the “door of Avenue Rapp” and other Haussmann buildings.

This to me is the best street for Eiffel Tower photos!

6. Montparnasse Tower

Sometimes capturing the Eiffel Tower means going to one of the tallest buildings in Paris and Montparnasse Tower is the perfect spot.

With it being directly opposite the Eiffel Tower, you get unobstructed views which means that the Eiffel Tower pics will come out perfectly well with the iron lady protruding through Paris’ rooftops.

You can go to Montparnasse Tower at any time but in my opinion, the best time to go is at sunset to be able to capture the iron lady with the backdrop of a beautiful sunset.

Unlike other Eiffel Tower photo spots, you’ll need to pay to access the Montparnasse Tower rooftop but the stunning Eiffel Tower views you get are worth the price.

And to make sure that you skip the Paris long lines at Montparnasse Tower, grab yourself this skip-the-line entry ticket .

7. Rue St. Dominique

Famous for being one of the best shopping streets in Paris , Rue St. Dominique in the 7th arrondissement also never disappoints when it comes to being a perfect Eiffel Tower photo shoot spot.

With the view of the Eiffel Tower “embroidered” right in the middle of the street with various cafes and partisan buildings beside it, you can be sure you’ll get the perfect Eiffel Tower street photo.

And when you finish capturing that perfect Eiffel Tower photo, don’t be in a rush to leave yet as there are lots of things to do on this charming street.

From indulging yourself with famous Parisian pastries from the many bakeries, eating your heart out at the cute cafes in the area, or shopping until you drop from the many stores.

Regardless of what fills your heart, you’ll find something to do while on your Eiffel Tower photography journey in the area.

8. Seine River

From all the Eiffel Tower photo spots mentioned here, I think the Seine River is the best. I know I keep saying that at almost every spot but there is something about the Seine that brings out the magic and beauty of the Eiffel Tower.

Actually, there is not one specific spot to take photos of the Eiffel Tower from the Seine but rather a variety. So all you have to do is look for a place along the Seine but also near the Trocadero and you’ll be able to capture the Iron Lady clearly.

Other spots at the Seine you can go to photograph the Eiffel Tower include; Pont Alexandre III , Pont Neuf , or even on a Seine River cruise.

The big plus about taking the river cruise is that you’ll get to see the Eiffel Tower from different angles hence taking various photos.

You can take pics of the Eiffel Tower from the Seine at any time but I recommend going at night as you’ll be able to capture the Eiffel Tower with the reflection of the shimmering lights on the water which creates such a magical sight and photo op.

Pro tip* If you choose to go for a Seine cruise, I recommend taking this one if you prefer a day-time cruise but if you prefer photographing the Eiffel Tower as it shimmers at the top of the hour, I recommend taking this Seine river dinner cruise for an absolutely great time.

9. Pont de Bir Hakeim

Another bridge in Paris where you can take stunning photos of the Eiffel Tower is the Pont de Bir Hakeim . The bridge crosses the Seine connecting the 15th and 16th arrondissements .

Its prime location opposite the tower and its design with the steel columns next to it and lanterns in between make for a perfect photo spot of the Eiffel Tower.

While it’s not an incredibly busy bridge like some others, it’s an actual operational bridge with cars and pedestrians.

So while taking that perfectly framed Eiffel Tower pic, be on the lookout not to cause an accident! Being one of the best Eiffel Tower photoshoot ideas, it’s not uncommon to find wedding shoots going on here.

10. Pont d’Iéna

Probably the most famous spot to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower at night or even at sunset. With just a few steps from the Trocadéro, Pont De’lena is the easiest way to connect to the Eiffel Tower from both sides of the Seine – the left and right banks.

At this spot, you’ll literally look like you’re taking photos from under the Eiffel Tower which is quite a unique shot compared to ones taken from other places — something that makes Pont De’lena a really special Eiffel Tower photo spot.

11. Avenue de Camoens

If you’re looking for hidden or less crowded Eiffel Tower photo spots, then look no further than Avenue de Camoens in the 16th Arrondissement.

Since it is located at the top of a staircase, not so many people know about it which means that you’ll be able to take countless photos of the Eiffel Tower without feeling like you’re “hogging” the place.

With the staircase and beautiful Parisian buildings in the background, this place makes for a perfect Eiffel Tower photoshoot spot.

12. Rue de Monttessuy

If you’re like me who can’t get enough of street photos of the Eiffel Tower, then add Rue de Monttessuy in the 7th arrondissement to your Parisian bucket list .

Unlike other places that give that old Parisian charm, this spot has some newer buildings so it will be nice to have a little bit of contrast between the Eiffel Tower and the newer angle of Paris.

13. Galeries Lafayette Rooftop

Another place to take a stunning photo of the Eiffel Tower in Paris is the Galeries Lafayette Rooftop . This Parisian department store may be famous for shopping since it houses luxurious brands but its terrace offers stunning views of the Eiffel Tower.

Unlike other Eiffel Tower photo spots on this list, from here, you can see other popular attractions like the Paris Opera and not forgetting the stunning Paris roofs.

14. Arc de Triomphe observation deck is one of the Eiffel Tower Best Photo Spots

One of my all-time favorite spots to take photos of the Eiffel Tower is the Observation deck of the Arc de Triomphe !

What makes this spot perfect is that it’s not too high so you get to see everything clearly instead of seeing small items below. Besides the view of the Eiffel Tower, you also get to see how 12 roads diverge from the Arc.

Stunning and beautiful, this is one of the best places to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower.

However, since you need to climb the Arc, you’ll need to buy this skip-the-line ticket to avoid wasting time in queues.

15. From The Top Of Sacré Coeur

Being on the highest place in Paris, Sacré Coeur offers an opportunity to photograph the Eiffel Tower without any obstructions.

From here, you get a stunning view of the entire city too! I recommend going there at sunset to see the entire city covered in beautiful yellow-orange-hued colors.

You should note that you’ll need to climb the 300 steps here as there is no elevator and you’ll pay a small fee to climb to the dome even though visiting the church itself is free.

16. From Pont Alexandre III

Pont Alexandre III is my favorite bridge in Paris! Besides being beautifully made with golden statues and street lamps, it’s one of the places to take the best photos of Eiffel Tower.

With the beautiful bridge, the Seine, and the Iron Lady in one frame, this is truly one of the best Eiffel Tower picture ideas.

17. From Various Paris Hotels

While this may not be for everyone since hotels with Eiffel Tower views come with a huge price tag but if budget is not a problem, you may consider staying at one of those hotels.

Some of the hotels to stay at to be able to take stunning photos of the Eiffel Tower include; Shangri-La Paris hotel in the 16th Arrondissement, Hôtel Eiffel Petit Louvre in the 15th, Hotel Le Meurice in the 1st Arrondissement, and many others.

18. From Pont Neuf

Pont Neuf is not only one of the beautiful bridges of Paris but also the best spot to take Eiffel Tower pictures.

While you can go any time, I recommend going at sunset to enjoy a colorful and beautiful sunset with the Eiffel Tower and another bridge in the background!

19. From île aux Cygnes

Many people may not know this but Paris has 3 islands! The 2 natural ones, île Saint-Louis and île de la Cité , and the artificial one called île aux Cygnes in the 15th arrondissement which we’re talking about now.

île aux Cygnes is famous for having the most famous and biggest replica of the Statue of Liberty in Paris but besides this, it’s also one of the best Eiffel Tower photo spots.

Unlike other places we’ve looked at before, this one is a little bit less known for those looking for Paris hidden gems .

20. From Rue Le Tasse

Still looking for where to take the best pictures of the Eiffel Tower? Then head to Rue Le Tasse .

While most people flock to Rue de l’Université making it packed almost all the time, one street that equally gives the same Eiffel Tower photo opportunities is Rue Le Tasse in the 16th arrondissement.

So if you’re looking for Eiffel Tower photo ideas where you won’t “fight” for a spot with other Instagrammers, check this one out.

Paris Photography: Eiffel Tower Photos

Where to take the best eiffel tower pictures….

Paris is somewhere that always manages to sparkle no matter how many times you photograph it. It’s one of those fascinating cities that feels like it’s constantly changing even though it remains in the same beautiful historic state and the Eiffel Tower is one of those unique icons that never gets old, it is simply spectacular.

Every visit to Paris offers a new chance to see the city and all of its charms from a new angle, in a different light or even with fresh eyes.

When it comes to photography locations in Paris, there’s so many to list that it would take a collection of encyclopedia’s to really cover them all. Is it just me that still thinks encyclopedias are cool? Anyway, I published a guide to the best Paris photo spots two years ago and it’s one of the most popular articles on The Wandering Lens. This time I want to delve a little deeper into fourteen of my favourite perspectives you can take photos of the Eiffel Tower, sharing a few places that offer great views of this mighty icon.

A little tip – to skip the queue, you can purchase your Eiffel Tower ticket ahead of time. Select your date, time and you can even purchase a multi-person ticket or combine entry with a tour, dining experience, or access to the Louvre!

#01 Pont de Bir Hakeim

Another one of my favourite locations is this bridge which is perfectly located right near the Eiffel Tower across the River Seine.

From Pont de Bir Hakeim you get a direct view towards the Eiffel Tower and there’s usually some gorgeous houseboats moored along the river to add something extra to your shot. The bridge itself has some shiny black railings that are great to use for creating your own reflections by spilling some water and making little puddles!

The bridge has a central section with ornate arches that repeat their way along under the railway. This is a great subject to use for framing the Eiffel Tower and also capturing people passing by on their bicycles.

Photo Tip: Take a water bottle to create puddles along the railings, the surface is perfect for creating reflections so you don’t even need to wait for a rainy day!

When to visit: This is one of those spots that’s rarely popular at sunset so it’s a great time to venture away from the crowds of Trocadero and find yourself a great perspective to watch the sky change colours above the Eiffel Tower.

Camera Settings: f/2.8 | ISO 200 | 1/1000sec | Reflection created by forming a puddle on the bridge railings.

#02 Place du Trocadero

Let’s kick things off with Trocadero because it’s surely the most photographed view of the Eiffel Tower and one of the best places to take photos of the Eiffel Tower. Sitting across the River Seine, here you’ll find grand staircases that lead to the most popular place to photograph the Eiffel Tower.

Depending on which direction you arrive, you’ll either enter from behind the Palais de Chaillot or from the Eiffel Tower itself, passing the Jardins du Trocadero and the Warsaw Fountains as you walk up to the viewpoint. Once you set eyes on the Eiffel Tower the moment is so very special, especially if it’s your first time!

You’ll know you’re in the right place because usually there’s hundreds if not thousands of people here, especially at sunset! In fact, I’d suggest coming to photograph here at sunrise to avoid the crowds and then leave sunset for somewhere a little less crowded.

Be sure to wander through the gardens looking for a different angle to capture the Eiffel Tower, or compose your shot so it includes the surroundings, the path or go minimalistic (read my quick guide to minimal photos here ) and just capture the tower with the sky behind.

Photo Tips: Use the Warsaw Fountains to create a unique perspective of the Eiffel Tower. When they’re on and blasting into the air, you can use them to frame your shot, or when they’re off the pone is great for reflections or popping in your little underwater camera for an even more creative shot.

When to visit Place du Trocadero: Sunrise! Avoid all the tour buses, crowds and street performers by arriving at sunrise to photograph this beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower.

#02 Banks of the River Seine

The walk from the Louvre down towards the Eiffel Tower is filled with photography opportunities.

Stick to the northern side of the river and you’ll come across some great angles to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower from the many bridges that cross the river.

Some highlights include the Pont Alexandre III which offers extravagant statues and detailing to use as foreground subjects to compose your shots.

Further along is the Pont de l’Alma which rests on a curve of the River Seine so provides a beautiful view directly across the river towards the Eiffel Tower.

As you walk alongside the river, keep an eye out for trees that may be great for framing. Particularly in spring when the blossoms are in bloom and gorgeous pink flowers make for a pretty picture!

Photo Tip: Take your time and stroll along with your camera ready to capture a whole variety of shots. Look for reflections and creative framing possibilities. ( Read my guide to Creative Photography techniques here , many of which I’ve used to photograph the Eiffel Tower)

When to visit: Time your walk for the afternoon then return after sunset so you can see it in a different light.

#04 La Basilique du Sacre Coeur

This is by far my favourite place to view the Eiffel Tower and watch as sunset falls over the city of Paris bringing with it a warm glow and little sparkle in the windows below. A lot of people visit Montmartre and the Basilique du Sacre Coeur but only stand on the steps in front. The best view is from the very top, 300 steps above in the dome of the church.

It has 300 steps that scurry up in spiral staircases, then across outdoor platforms before reaching the final viewing point. If you’re not a fan of small spaces or get a little claustrophobic, this might not be a great activity for you.

Once you’re at the top of the dome though, the views are magnifique! And, there’s actually quite a lot of space at the top where you can wander around and see Paris from all angles.

To find the stairs, you need to walk outside the church and down a staircase to the left of the church entrance. Here you’ll find a small ticket booth and access to climb to the dome. Prices vary but it’s roughly 5euro per person.

If there is one place to see Paris from and to capture photos of the Eiffel Tower it’s from this spot. I’ve spent many special evenings watching the colours change over Paris as I snapped happily away taking pictures of the Eiffel Tower and the cities skyline.

Photo Tip: Arrive well before sunset to find a great perspective and secure your spot. You can use the structure itself to frame your shot or take along a zoom lens to capture the buildings and bring the Eiffel Tower in a little closer.

When to visit: Opening hours for the dome are daily from 8:30am to 8pm (May to September) and 9am to 5pm (October to April). I suggest timing your visit so you can watch the golden hour and photograph as the light changes and dusk appears. Allow yourself about two hours if you really want to capture some magic! I could barely tear myself away from the view, it’s so special and you’re rarely sharing it with anyone else because the stairs are quite the deterrent!

#05 Montmartre + #06 Rue Azais

Perched high up on a hill at roughly 130m high, Montmartre is a great location to view and photograph the Eiffel Tower from.

The most popular place in Montmartre is in front of the Basilique du Sacre Coeur however if you wander along Rue Azais to the right, there’s a lovely little path that provides views over the rooftops near Moulin Rouge and the streets below.

There’s a few viewpoints around Montmartre so take some time to explore the smaller streets and always keep an eye out for whenever the Eiffel Tower appears.

Photo Tip: Use the surrounding buildings to frame your images and show some foreground detail to create a different perspective of the Eiffel Tower.

When to visit: Anytime of day is beautiful from Montmartre but personally I love the warm afternoon light, it really makes the colours of the buildings and cityscape glow.

#07 Champ de Mars

Forming a large garden area between the École Militaire and Eiffel Tower, the Champ de Mars is a great place to capture various angles of the Eiffel Tower. You can capture wide angle landscapes, close up details of the structure, head up to the top or use the surrounding gardens to your advantage.

Depending on what time of year you’re visiting, you’ll either have beautiful blossoms lining the way to the Eiffel Tower, brilliant bright green trees or twigs if you’re there in winter. Regardless though, the tree lined avenues that lead along each side of the Champ de Mars are great to use in your photographs to create leading lines and point the viewer towards the subject.

In summer you can set up a picnic on the lawn and spend all day there if you like!

This is the spot to go for iconic photos of the Eiffel Tower

Photo Tip: Look around for angles to utilise the gardens and trees to frame your image.

When to visit: If you want to avoid crowds and capture a shot without anyone in it, visit at sunrise. That said, there’s so much space here that you really can visit at any time of the day and find somewhere without people. Stick to the side paths and you’ll find some great angles.

#08 Rue Jean Ray

This might be a personal favourite, but when arriving from Bir Hakeim metro station, this will be the first point in which you see the Eiffel Tower as you cross the River Seine when travelling from the north. Otherwise, once you exit the station and venture towards the Eiffel Tower, your first glimpse will be just around the corner.

Also, at the corner of Rue Jean Ray you’ll find the Australian embassy so there’s usually a giant photo of a koala or kangaroo on the side of the building which I always love to photograph alongside the Eiffel Tower.

If you’re not Australian and don’t find that cute in anyway, Rue Jean Ray is also home to the Mercure Paris Centre Tour Eiffel and Pullman Hotel, both which have incredible close-up views of the Eiffel Tower from their rooms.

Photo Tip: Book a room at the Mercure hotel and ask for a corner room on level 11 (room 1131 if you can get it)…it’s actually quite affordable and you’ll be waking up to sunrise over the Eiffel Tower and falling asleep to the spark of the hourly light show.

When to visit: Anytime of year!

#09 Tour Montparnasse

Offering panoramic views of Paris from the 200m high tower, this is one spot you can’t miss because it’s absolutely incredible.

From the top you can see the Champ de Mars and its perfectly designed lines leading towards the Eiffel Tower with the surrounding avenues and buildings adding to the beauty.

The tower is open throughout the day and until late at night meaning you can take your pick of what you want to see and photograph. If sparkling city lights are your thing, it’s a great place to set up your tripod and capture a long exposure of the lights below.

Sunset can get a little crowded at the top so if you are hoping to capture one of those iconic landscape shots of Paris, it’s well worth arriving early to secure your spot and stand strong to make sure you get the angle you’re after.

Photo Tip: There’s a bunch of shots that can be taken from this view point so be sure to have with you a wide-angle lens and a zoom if possible to snap some varied perspectives.

When to visit: The tower is open year-round from 9:30am until 11:30pm during the summer or 10:30pm in winter (except Fri + Sat which is 11pm). The adult price to enter is €17 .

#10 Galeries Lafayette Haussmann Rooftop

This little surprise is hiding up on the roof of this luxury department store. The good news? You don’t have to buy anything to enter!

Waltz through and head straight for the highest floor then wander out to see a magnificent view over the rooftops of Paris towards the Eiffel Tower.

Because the department store is located within the Opera quartier, you’ll be treated to views over the Palais Garnier which adds another element of history to your image.

Photo Tip: Keep an eye out for beautiful details in the surrounding buildings to use as foreground subjects for your image. Sometimes there will be art schools drawing the view from the top who can also act as great subjects! It provides a unique place to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower while exploring a beautiful suburb of Paris.

When to visit: This viewpoint is only accessible during the stores opening hours but during winter months that’s until 8pm meaning there’s the possibility of photographing sunset from here.

#11 Cathedral de Notre Dame

UPDATE: Please note Notre Dame is no longer open to the public and is undergoing an extensive repair due to a fire in April, 2019.

Another day another rooftop but this time, it’s the incredible towers of the Cathedral de Notre Dame! No visit to Paris is complete without seeing the gargoyles and fascinating details of the Notre Dame Cathedral, but for views of the Eiffel Tower, this is one of the best locations.

From the towers of the cathedral, you get views looking over the River Seine down towards the Eiffel Tower and believe me, it’s absolutely beautiful.

You can use the gargoyles as foreground subjects for your images or zoom in to capture Pont Saint-Michel and the river at the base of your composition.

Photo Tip: Arrive early. I mean before opening time to ensure you’re at least close to the front of the queue. There’s a lot of people that pass through the towers of Notre Dame and with only a limited amount of people allowed up at any one time, it’s essential to arrive early otherwise you’ll spend more time waiting in line that taking photos.

Also you’ll need to be relatively fast when taking photos because it’s on more of a rotation visit than a stop and relax kind of situation.

When to visit: Like I said above, first thing in the morning as soon at the towers open at 10am. Also don’t forget to visit inside afterwards! The queue for the rooftop starts around the side of the cathedral in Rue de Cliotre-Notre-Dame.

#12 Pont d’Iéna + #13 the Carousel de Tour Eiffel

This spot might be quite obvious because it’s smack bang in front of the Eiffel Tower, but you’ll be surprised how many people forget to take a photo here.

The Pont d’Iéna acts as a photo ready avenue leading towards the tower, a great subject for wider compositions if you can manage to get a spot to yourself.

Traffic passes over the bridge very regularly so once the light drops, you can snap some great long exposures here with the blurring of headlights and movement of the traffic.

Just before crossing Quai Branley to the Eiffel Tower, on the right you’ll probably be distracted by a very photogenic carousel. It’s a great subject to use in photos of the Eiffel Tower, especially once it starts spinning around!

Photo Tip: Drop your shutter speed and capture some long exposures of the traffic on the bridge with the Eiffel Tower glowing behind. The same for the carousel, get nice and low and line up the Eiffel Tower so it’s just popping out from the carousel.

When to visit: Dusk is a beautiful time to photograph on the bridge and by the carousel. It’ll lead into the evening making it the perfect time to capture longer exposures.

#14 One last spot just for fun… the Avenue de Camoens

Grab that fashionista shot here at the Avenue de Camoens located just near Trocadero.

You’ll find this small street only a five-minute walk from Place du Trocadero meaning you can do both locations in the one stop with each offering a different perspective.

At the end of the Avenue de Camoens, there’s a beautiful lamp post and the perfect location to grab a romantic portrait with the Eiffel Tower sparkling behind.

I’ll let you wait to see what the view looks like…I promise it’s worth it!

And finally, a map!

Best Places to Take Pictures of the Eiffel Tower

Pont de bir hakeim bridge.

The Pont de Bir Hakeim Bridge offers a breathtaking setting to capture stunning photos of the Eiffel Tower. It is typically a little less crowded, especially in the evening, and not as well known as a photo opportunity in Paris.

Here, you’ll have the Eiffel Tower gracing the background, complemented by the flowing river, creating a truly picturesque scene. It provides quite a classical Paris look that captivates and captures its industrial beauty.

After living in Germany – only a 2-hour train ride from Paris, it has been one of my beloved and treasured spots to visit that should be on any new traveler’s bucket list to Paris .

Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or simply a tourist looking for an unforgettable experience, this bridge offers a distinct perspective on the Eiffel Tower, leaving a lasting impression and memories to cherish.

Avenue Rapp

Avenue Rapp is one of the best places to take a photo of the Eiffel Tower in Paris that is located within the seventh arrondissement, 

In particular, Square Rapp is particularly special and can be found between 33 and 35 Avenue Rapp. 

This is a great spot to take a photo with the Eiffel Tower since this stunning square features a well-maintained garden, exquisite iron gates, and a delightful fountain.

Plus, as you stand in the square, you can capture a lovely photo of the gardens in the foreground with the city’s Haussman-style architecture and the Eiffel Tower behind it.

However, this is a quiet neighborhood, so please limit the noise you make when you visit. You will also want to arrive early in the morning to avoid people walking into your shot.  Additionally, you’ll want to stop at the nearby Lavirotte Building to enjoy the gorgeous Art Nouveau architecture Paris is known for during your 5 days in Paris .

Avenue de New York

Avenue de New York is just a few minutes walk from the base of the Eiffel Tower. It’s a perfect place to take some classic shots of the most famous landmark in Paris. Avenue de New York is opposite the Eiffel Tower on the right bank of the Seine, the ideal location for you to take beautiful photos of the river with the tower in the background.

For the best images, head towards the point where Avenue de New York meets Pont d’Iéna. Finding a spot to pause for an uninterrupted view of the Eiffel Tower is very easy there.

This location will bring you close enough to get great photos without being so close that the tower is distorted in your image. Visit in the afternoon when the sun will be behind you for the best lighting.

Avenue de Cameons

Avenue de Cameons has to make the list as one of the best places to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower while in Paris! It’s a great quick photo stop since the viewpoint is so close to other tourist stops like the Trocadero and Pont d’iena bridge. A small side street next to the Trocadero, there are beautiful Parisian-style buildings surrounding this photo stop. 

The look of the buildings around you with the Eiffel Tower tucked away in the background makes for one of the best classic and romantic Parisian photos. And while it is a popular photo spot, it usually doesn’t get as crowded as some of the other hot spots around the city with Eiffel Tower views. 

Plus, there’s a fantastic ledge that makes for one of the most picturesque places to hop up on to strike a pose. Go in the late afternoon near golden hour to get great lighting of the Eiffel Tower from this spot.

The Champ de Mars is one of the best and most classic places to view the Eiffel Tower. The Champ de Mars is the long greenspace right in front of the Eiffel Tower and is one of the best parks in Paris to relax and spend time in.

There are multiple sections of grass that you can lounge out on and enjoy a leisurely lunch, wide walking paths lined with trees, lots of park benches, and amenities like bathrooms, drinking fountains, and crepe stands. 

You can get a good picture any time of day in the Champ de Mars – the large space means that it usually doesn’t get crazy crowded, although of course, earlier in the day means there will be fewer people. Get a unique shot of you enjoying a picnic on the grass with the Eiffel Tower in the background.

Rue de l’Université

If you’re looking for the best places to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower, look no further than Rue de l’Université.

Rue de l’Université, a major street in Paris, turns into a dead-end street just as you arrive at the Champs de Mars, the park that surrounds the Eiffel Tower. As a result, you find yourself in the perfect location to grab a stunning photo with the tower in the background.

With its cobblestone street, stunning architecture, and the tower directly behind you, this location provides an impressive and unique perspective of the Eiffel Tower.

Due to its popularity, this spot can get quite busy. Arriving early in the morning will certainly help to avoid some of the crowds.

For those looking for an impressive backdrop of the Eiffel Tower in their picture, Rue de l’Université is a must-visit spot that will result in a truly impressive view of this famous landmark.

Pont Alexandre III

Pont Alexandre III is my favourite bridge in all of Paris. It’s the most decadent, extravagant bridge, with flying golden angels, art nouveau lamp posts, ornate cherubs, nymphs, and even winged horses!

And, of course, it has a great view of the Eiffel Tower and the River Seine. This bridge is perfect for taking pictures of the Eiffel Tower at sunset, and you’ll find plenty of spots to take pictures from, even if there are loads of tourists.

The pavement is very wide, so there’s plenty of room for everyone. It’s also great if you have a zoom lens, but you might have to be a little more patient with this one as the photographer will need to stand farther back; best to do that one in the morning.

Just lean against the railing (the best view is on the north side near Monument à Lafayette) with your photographer, and people will be able to walk around you. And voila! There you have it—the picture-perfect view of the Eiffel Tower.

Pont des Invalides

A great underrated Eiffel Tower photo spot is the Pont des Invalides. If you’re tired of the major tourist flocks at Rue de l’Universite and Trocadero, the Pont des Invalides is a great low-key alternative.

The Pont des Invalides is located near the Hotel des Invalides: an iconic military complex and museum. The bridge spans the Seine River connecting the 7th and 8th arrondissement.

It’s a great spot because it’s less touristy, and you’ll be able to capture the Gothic tower of the American Church in Paris in your shot which is totally unique!  This church was the first American church established outside the U.S. Pretty awesome stuff.

First, start off with a picnic at l’Esplanade des Invalides. It’s a huge grass field that Parisians love socializing at when the weather warms up. Grab a baguette, humus, and vegan snacks, and enjoy the scenery and gorgeous architecture surrounding you. 

There are great vegan food option supermarkets and a fresh food market at Motte-Picquet and Rue Cler respectively.

After enjoying your picnic, it’s time to immortalize your perfect day! Head to the Pont des Invalides for that well-deserved shot of the Eiffel Tower you’ve earned.

Tour Montparnasse

Tour Montparnasse (Montparnasse Tower) has the reputation of being the ugliest building in Paris. It sticks out like a sore thumb and you can spot it from pretty much anywhere in the city. In its defense, however, it should be pointed out that its panoramic terrace offers one of the best views of the  Eiffel Tower  in town, and the best part of it is that Montparnasse Tower itself won’t be in the photo!

The tower is located on 33 Av. du Main, in the 15th arrondissement. The closest metro station is Montparnasse-Bienvenue station. It is open daily, though opening hours vary depending on the season.

You can access two levels (there is a fee to pay for that): floor 56th, which has a bar and is all closed with glass windows, and the terrace above, which is also mostly closed with the occasional opening through which you can catch the views and take photos. There even are telescopes.

Plan to be there about one hour before sunset for the best experience.

Musée d’Orsay

The Musée d’Orsay is one of the city’s  coolest and most popular museums , thanks to its large collection of works by Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. However, that’s not its only highlight: the art museum is also a unique place from which to view the Eiffel Tower. 

Both the museum and tour are located on the Left Bank of the Seine River. Most visitors are focused on the artworks on the walls, and surprisingly few take a look out the windows at the stunning city views. From the upper floor of the museum, looking west, the tower stands tall above the rooftops of nearby apartment buildings. 

The museum is open from 9am to 6pm most days (closed Mondays). For those hoping for a sunset view, the hours are extended to 9.45pm on Thursdays.

Pompidou Centre

The Pompidou Centre is known for its remarkable architecture – but it is also a great place from which to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower.

Even if you’re only spending  two days in Paris , it’s worth checking out this contemporary landmark and enjoying the view from the top.

The building is famous for its ‘inside-out’ construction, where the functional workings of the building, including ducts and pipes, are exposed on the exterior of the structure. The building houses an art gallery and there’s a lovely restaurant on the top floor, with a good view of the gothic Tour Saint-Jacques.

However, from the terrace on the west side of the building, there is a great view of the Eiffel Tower, standing tall above the rooftops of Paris. A good time to photograph here is in the middle of the day, to capture the classic blue-grey tones of the rooftops.

The Pompidou Centre is in the 4 th  arrondissement and access to the terrace is free.

Pont d’Iéna Bridge

One of the best places to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower is hidden in plain sight. To the left of the Pont d’Iéna bridge (Jena Bridge) you’ll find steps down to the banks of the River Seine that most tourists walk right by. This overlooked spot is the perfect place to capture the Eiffel Tower in its full grandeur, without hundreds of tourists in the shot.

When you’re walking from the bustling Trocadero, you cross the traffic lights at Voie Georges Pompidou, to the left of the bridge, the wall has a small gateway to Port Debilly with steps leading down to the riverbank.

Whether you’re capturing the beautiful morning light or there in the middle of the day, it’s an excellent vantage point to set up your camera (or take that quick selfie!) away from the throngs of people. It’s one of the best places in Paris to take pictures of the iconic Eiffel Tower.

Arc de Triomphe

For one of the best Eiffel Tower photo spots, head to another of Paris’ most famous landmarks – the Arc de Triomphe!

The Arc de Triomphe is located on the western end of Champs-Élysées. Many visitors will only visit the Arc for a quick photo stop, but climbing to the top is one of the best things to do in Paris – especially since you get such a great view of the Eiffel Tower.

Tickets are required to visit the Arc de Triomphe rooftop. They aren’t timed, so you can visit at whatever time works best for you. I recommend timing your visit at dusk so that you can see the first Eiffel Tower sparkle of the evening.

After climbing the 284 steps to the top, you’ll emerge to one of the best views in Paris. 

The Eiffel Tower is located directly south of the Arc de Triomphe. The elevated view of the Eiffel Tower from the rooftop is a great vantage point for photos as you can see how the Eiffel Tower towers over the city streets below.

Galeries Lafayette

Paris’ most iconic shopping center, Galeries Lafayette, has a rooftop with a prime view of the Eiffel Tower. While it is a small chain department shop, Paris’ Galleries Lafayette on the 9th arrondissement is the flagship store. 

The Terrace is the rooftop that showcases the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, and Paris’ other skyscrapers. It is located on the 8th floor, and the best time to visit is during the sunset. If you want to avoid the crowds, come at 10 am when Galeries Lafayette opens. Taking photos of the Eiffel Tower from the Terrace is a photographer’s dream. 

Enjoy a romantic dinner with your love while fawning over the view. During the holiday season, you can go ice skating on the Terrace since the rink opens up specifically for the season.

Along with shopping at Galeries Lafayette, make sure to take a snapshot at the Terrace for an extra souvenir!

Contributed by Hanna from Hannah on Horizon

One of the best places to take pictures of the Eiffel Tower is Trocadero.  Trocadero is home to the Palais de Chaillot which is a building on top of Chaillot Hill.  It’s the large balcony (so to speak) on the Palais de Chaillot that offers a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower.  

As you can imagine, a place with a spectacular view of the architectural icon of  Paris can get crowded.  Your best bet to getting photos here with few to no people in them is by getting there in the early morning.

6 am-7 am is best if you’re able to be up that early!  Though it’s crowded in the evening, Trocadero is a great place to enjoy the Eiffel Tower sparkling at the top of each hour.  

Trocadero is located off of the “Trocadero” metro stop on lines 9 and 6.  The view of the Eiffel Tower is easily walkable from the metro exit.  

Enjoy the fabulous view of the Eiffel Tower from Trocadero!

This Designer’s Attic Apartment in Paris Always Glimmers With Light

By Katharina Schwarze

Photography by Ludovic Balay

The phrase that best describes Rudy Guénaire ’s apartment is flooded with light. “Our first summer living here, when we’d have breakfast we’d wear our sunglasses,” he says with a laugh. “Now there’s an awning and it’s even nicer.” About three years ago, the French designer and his wife, Raphaële, bought the Paris penthouse, which is just over 1,000 square feet. Their daughter Madeleine had just been born and they found this spectacular home online. When they looked at the photos, they immediately realized that it must have once been an artist’s studio. “We knew that if we removed the ugly ceiling, a skylight would open up—thanks, Google Earth.” It was an ideal apartment for Rudy and his family because for this designer, there’s no more important element in a great design than natural light.

A few years earlier, at the age of 25, he spent five months in the United States trekking through the Rocky Mountains from the Mexican border north to Canada, sleeping under the stars every night—it was an experience that left a lasting impression. When he got back to bustling Paris, he was looking for “a place where we could find quiet in the midst of our crazy city and our crazy lives and simply look up at the sky.” This also indirectly explains why the designer who is known for his colorful and expressive interiors limited himself here to a palette of creams and browns. “The light is the most important element of the design. Right now, at the end of the day, it’s spectacular. The living room changes color every minute.” Rudy prefers to watch this spectacle from the sofa. In the evening, he will watch another show from the banquette in the dining area: The Eiffel Tower sparkles in a different color every hour. “It’s magical!”

The living room on the upper floor has a ceiling of restored skylights. Sconce by Casati & Ponzi , bamboo coffee table, and the radiator is from a 19th-century factory in Lyon.

Rudy’s favorite armchair by Hans Wegner , behind it are speakers by Neat Acoustics in cream-colored lacquer.

The banquette in the dining area, like most of the other furniture and fittings in the apartment, was born from a quick sketch on a piece of paper. Rudy never studied architecture and never learned the typical 3D design programs. “I try to draw things that don’t belong to a specific time period and that come from deep within me. It’s really difficult to make things that are truly yours alone.” Although he always wanted to design, he decided to study mathematics at the prestigious HEC business school in Paris and then he founded the PNY chain of burger restaurants. It was when he designed some of the cool interiors himself that he was inspired by the experience and decided to establish his own design agency, Nightflight , an allusion to the novel Night Flight by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. “When I was 10, I told my parents that I was going to be a designer. And it’s as if I had a memory lapse from then until recently—in this crazy world, it’s hard to stay true to yourself.” His current designs (for clients or his own restaurant chain) are inspired not only by literature but also by films. David Lynch’s atmospheric sets or Ingmar Bergman’s spare elegance feed his imagination and allow him to create modern and evocative homes, even without 3D programs.

The dining room glows with sunlight during the day and light from the nearby Eiffel Tower in the evenings. The designer created the table especially for the project, the lamp is by Gae Aulenti . The family doesn’t own very many things, which helps keep the apartment looking tidy.

A 100-year-old General Electric fan provides the attic with a cool breeze on hot days. Rudy says of the old McIntosh hi-fi system : “Georgia O’Keeffe had the same one in her incredible house in the desert of New Mexico.” The sun sculpture is by Momcilo Milovanovic .

“I travel as often as I can, and if I can’t do it physically, then I do it through books.” His living room is a library filled with works of philosophy, poetry and literature; the art books are in his office. The last book he read? Boris Pasternak’s Dr. Zhivago . “And I’m currently having a lot of fun translating Yeats’s poems.” In summer, however, you’ll want a cool drink in hand while reading here and you’ll likely want to turn on the fan as well. The large windows mean that the attic apartment quickly reaches tropical temperatures. Rudy’s next project is to install air conditioning.

Rudy is one of the 20 most promising design talents as presented in the April issue of AD France . He lives in Paris with his wife, Raphaële, and their daughter, Madeleine.

In the bathroom, glass blocks allow plenty of light into the room. The floor is made of polished concrete. The washbasin is custom-made from polished white concrete with sapele wood fronts.

The Wally wall lamps are vintage originals by Miguel Milá. “I installed Japanese LED lamps from Soraa inside them. They are the best LED lamps in the world! The light they produce is simply perfect,” says Rudy.

The mirrors in the apartment are by Kai Kristiansen and made of rosewood—the rarest and most beautiful wood, according to the designer.

The bedroom is designed like a small cabin and is accessible through sliding doors.

The dark wood ceiling and bed form a frame for the room, with light-colored textiles used for the carpet, bedspread, and curtain.

The large studio windows offer a view of a magnificent tree. “It’s heavenly,” says the designer.

Romantic Eiffel Tower photoshoot

You can have a romantic Eiffel Tower photoshoot for pretty much any occasion: Paris surprise proposal, Eiffel Tower engagement, Paris honeymoon photoshoot, Paris anniversary photo session or Paris elopement wedding.

Or you simply plan a couple photoshoot, no special occasions needed, just as Silvia & Pedro did. They traveled to Paris together, a romantic couple trip, just the two of them. And the cherry on top of the cake was their romantic Eiffel Tower photoshoot with their English speaking photographers in Paris. What a perfect souvenir to bring home from the city of love.

Perfect Eiffel Tower photo location

When you are planning a romantic Eiffel Tower photo session in Paris you first need to choose your favorite Eiffel Tower location. Silvia & Pedro loved Bir-Hakeim bridge because of the great view you have from there on the Eiffel Tower. But also because the bridge itself is beautiful and architectural masterpiece. You may know it from the movie Inception, this Paris location became famous worldwide through this film.

As team of local Paris photographer for hire we really love shooting at this Eiffel Tower location. Birhakeim bridge has a few other advantages for your romantic Eiffel Tower photoshoot : First the bridge has a balcony. From there you not only have a fantastic view on the Eiffel Tower and Seine river. But you can also use this balcony for couple photo poses as you can see with Silvia & Pedro’s romantic Eiffel Tower photo session.

Moreover Pont Bir-Hakeim is a double layer bridge. That means there are some covered spots for your romantic Eiffel Tower photo session . This is perfect when the weather isn’t great or if there is a risk of rain. At this Eiffel Tower location we are always protected and covered for your romantic Eiffel Tower photo session.

That’s also exactly what happened on the day of their photoshoot in Paris. Silvia & Pedro were a little bit worried about the weather: it’s wasn’t sunny but foggy and it looked like it could start raining anytime. But as their experience Paris based photographer I told the couple that it won’t be a problem.

First we always have a backup plan at this Eiffel Tower location and can be covered under the structure of the bridge while still having a pretty photoshoot location. Also this foggy weather can create a very unique and mysterious atmosphere for their romantic Eiffel Tower photoshoot . And last but not least the ares was less crowded and busy because of the weather. Great for an intimate and romantic Eiffel Tower photoshoot

In love with Eiffel Tower couple photos

As their French photographer in Paris I was happy that I had such a great couple photoshoot with Silivia & Pedro. We were lucky and it did not rain in the end. And I am really pleased that the couple also enjoyed their romantic Eiffel Tower photoshoot and loved their Paris couple photos I took of them at the Eiffel Tower.

Here is what Silvia & Pedro said about their experience and Paris photographer Jordan. “I never usually write reviews but this time, Jordan from The Parisian Photographers, deserves one. What an amazing photo session; the best one I have ever had. It was the first time my fiancé and I had a professional photo shoot without knowing what to expect, but Jordan was incredible at making us feel comfortable and welcomed while taking great photos. The result? The photos look amazing and the entire experience was a complete delight. We had a great time and I would highly recommend him. He is very patient, organized, and suggested good poses. Thanks Jordan!!”

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).
