Sacré-Cœur

Paris is blessed with loads of mind-blowing photography spots. Perhaps the most iconic location is Trocadéro, which offers bigger-than-life views of the Eiffel Tower.

Trocadéro is characterized by sublime symmetry, an awe-inspiring view of the Eiffel Tower, and, importantly, the best photo variety of any Eiffel Tower location. Specifically, as you walk down the stairs from the main square (Palais de Chaillot) toward the Seine River, you’ll find picturesque gardens, fountains, and statues.

Trocadéro looks absolutely dazzling at night. Yet, we recommend taking your pictures at sunrise when it’s less crowded, and you don’t need to worry about people getting into your photos, thieves, and other distractions.
