I've rounded up 7 secret spots in Paris to admire the Eiffel Tower. These are the best photo spots you'll definitely want to capture during your stay - an unexpected surprise to add to your album! You can find them all on my Instagram account here. Happy shooting!
1. Rue Saint-Dominique
Not only is this street famous for its shopping boutiques, but all along it, you'll see the Eiffel Tower looming up between the buildings. The best vantage point is at the corner of rue Saint-Dominique and boulevard de la Tour-Maubourg.
2. Rue de l'Université
This picturesque street is ideal for unobstructed views of the Eiffel Tower. It dead-ends at Avenue de la Bourdonnais, offering a perfect angle on the Tower.
💡 Tip: There are parking spaces on the street, so cars may get in the way of your photos. When we arrived, there were none, but a few seconds later, a car pulled up... Just a little too late for the perfect photo!
3. Square Rapp
Square Rapp is a tiny cul-de-sac just off Avenue Rapp. It offers an incredible view of the Eiffel Tower! Little-known, it's often deserted, perfect for uncrowded photos.
4. Avenue de Camoëns
You're sure to bump into other bloggers and photographers. This quiet street, just a stone's throw from the Trocadero, offers a magnificent view of the Eiffel Tower, framed by elegant, typical Parisian architecture.
5. Trocadero
Not so secret, but certainly the best place to admire the Eiffel Tower. I like to find original angles, like including the carrousel in the composition. If you want to avoid the crowds, come at sunrise!
6. River Seine
Along the Seine, near the Trocadero, you'll have a spectacular, unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower. This is one of the most peaceful corners of Paris. You can find perfect spots all along the river - it's an easy angle to capture, no matter where you are.
7. Bir-Hakeim bridge
I've also included it in my top Instagram spots in Paris. The Pont de Bir-Hakeim is the perfect place to photograph the Eiffel Tower. I love the way the structure of the bridge frames the Tower in the background. An absolute must for Paris photo enthusiasts!
