Louvre Museum Paris Photo Location Review

The Louvre: Paris’s Most Versatile Photo Location

One of the most historic and instantly recognizable Parisian photo spots, the Louvre is centrally located and photographs beautifully at any time of day.

The iconic Louvre Museum and its glass pyramid rank among the world’s most recognizable monuments. While the museum is public and you’ll want to arrive early for proposals to avoid crowds, this stunning glass-and-metal structure delivers serious wow factor and offers something different from the Eiffel Tower.

No other photo spot in Paris—with the possible exception of Palais-Royal—shoots this consistently well and offers such outstanding variety.
