【Here it is! Here it is! The ultimate guide to the best Eiffel Tower photo spots in Paris 🗼! This one post has got you covered】 🇫🇷 I wouldn't dare to title this post so boldly if it weren't true. Before my trip, I scoured the internet for all the Eiffel Tower photo posts and compiled the top nine most popular and best spots, which I then visited and photographed myself. This post summarizes all of them~ 1️⃣. Palais de Chaillot Terrace. This place gets crowded after morning, so it's best to start here early. By 8 AM, it's still relatively empty. From here, you can circle around and hit all nine spots. The prime spot is on the right side of the terrace stairs. Although the left side has the same view, the framing isn't as good. 2️⃣. Palais de Chaillot Stairs. Just below the first spot~ 3️⃣. Palais de Chaillot Fountain. After descending from the second spot, you'll reach this fountain square. Not sure if it's still in use, but it's just filled with some stagnant water now. You can do some jumping or dynamic poses here, just try not to overlap with the tower in the background. Using the water to capture reflections can also be nice~ 4️⃣. Right Bank of the Seine. Cross the street from the fountain, and on the right side of the Pont d'Iéna, there's a staircase leading down to the riverside. This is a popular spot for many Instagram influencers. It's usually pretty empty, so you can pose freely~ 5️⃣. Hidden Gem Neighborhood. Use Google Maps to navigate to Avenue de Camoens. Apple Maps shows it as over 10 km away, but it's actually just a few minutes' walk from the previous spots. There are hardly any tourists here, mostly just foreign bloggers and the like. On the day I visited, there were two film crews shooting what seemed like music videos~ 6️⃣. Pont de Bir-Hakeim. This is the bridge featured in Inception. It's just a few minutes away from spot 5. There are usually fewer tourists here, and more people taking wedding photos. You can frame the shot horizontally to include the bridge and the tower, or vertically to emphasize the bridge's depth~ 7️⃣. Le Recrutement Café. You can navigate here from the bridge, about a 30-minute walk. From across the street, use a telephoto lens to capture the entire tower and the street scene, pretending to cross the road~ 8️⃣. Instagram-famous Alley. Navigate to 228 Rue de l'Université. It's about a 10-minute walk from spot 7. Many people take full-tower shots here from a low angle, but I prefer a level view. Since there are already many full-tower shots, some partial framing can add more variety~ 9️⃣. Seine Riverbank. By spot 8, you're back near the tower's base. Cross back to the other side of the river and shoot from the riverbank. Any spot along the bank will do, but the one near the Passerelle Debilly bridge is particularly nice. The bridge itself is also great for photos, with fewer people than the Pont d'Iéna~ There's also a carousel nearby, but I found the composition a bit cluttered. If you're interested, you can give it a try. It's right next to the fountain~ Oh, I'm running out of characters, so I'll continue in the next post~ Stay tuned! @Uncle Red @Lifestyle Stuff @City Light Travel #ParisStreetPhotography
