Palais Royal Paris Photos: Buren Columns & Gardens Location Review

Palais Royal: Multiple Photo Styles in One Central Location

Palais Royal delivers maximum photo variety in a single location, making it a top choice for efficient Paris photo sessions.

This former palace combines distinctive black and white striped Buren columns with expansive courtyards, fountains, and peaceful gardens. The contrast between modern art installations and classic French architecture creates diverse backdrops without location changes.

The central courtyard works well for playful shots among the columns, while the surrounding gardens offer quieter, romantic settings. You can easily combine your Palais Royal session with nearby attractions—the Louvre is just minutes away, and classic Parisian cafes line the surrounding streets for celebration drinks.
