Best Eiffel Tower Photo Spots<\/h1>\n

There is nothing more iconic than the Paris Eiffel Tower. I just love how the Eiffel Tower can pop up between streets, offering the prettiest views when walking around Paris. I rounded up the top-secret places where to get the best Eiffel Tower Photo. These are the top Eiffel Tower photo spots that you’ll want from your trip. <\/p>\n

You can catch these photos and more on my Instagram here<\/a>! <\/p>\n

Where is the Eiffel Tower? <\/h2>\n

Before I get into the secret locations, I wanted to lay out the land where the Eiffel tower is. The Eiffel Tower is located in the 7th arrondissement in Paris in the southwestern part of the city. While Champ de Mars, the surrounding park area, on a map might look small, in reality, the park grounds are huge. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is something to keep in mind when walking around because you will be in for a bit of a walk! However, you can see all of these locations in just one day if you take some breaks, and stop for some delicious French pastries. <\/span><\/p>\n

I have included a map of the Paris photo locations at the bottom of this post for easy reference.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rue St. Dominique is a residential street in the 7th arrondissement that offers the most incredible view of the Eiffel tower. The best viewing spot is on Rue St. Dominique and Boulevard de la Tour-Maubourg, however, you\u2019ll catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower throughout the whole street. <\/span><\/p>\n

This area is known for its shopping boutiques, cozy restaurants, and cafes, and is a nice local area to stay in while in Paris. <\/span><\/p>\n

Le Narcisse Blanc:<\/a> An elegant Parisian hotel located on Boulevard de la Tour-Maubourg. In under a minute you can walk to this iconic corner to catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower. Check out my full review of Le Narcisse Blanc here.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Rue de l’ Universit\u00e9<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"The<\/a> \"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Probably my favorite location to see the Eiffel Tower is Rue de\u2019l Universit\u00e9<\/strong>. This quaint street is ideal because it has such a Parisian charm with the cobblestone streets and beautiful architecture. And because this is very close to Champ de Mars, the surrounding park where the Eiffel Tower is located, the tower will appear grand in your photos. <\/span><\/p>\n

To find this exact location, you\u2019ll come across a dead-end on Rue de Universite and Avenue de la Bourdonnais. Enter at this point, and you will find the Eiffel Tower is in clear sight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/b> Cars do park on this street, so there might be some in your photo! When we arrived there were no cars, but seconds after a car pulled up and parked. We were lucky but a little too late.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Square Rapp<\/h2>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Square Rapp is a tiny dead-end right off Avenue Rapp that offers a secret view of the Eiffel Tower. Because it is lesser-known, you won’t find many people taking photos here. It is located in a residential part of Paris, so just be respectful to the surrounding area. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bonus: If you walk further down this dead-end street, you\u2019ll find a quaint little garden. It is private property, but charming to look at.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Avenue de Camoens<\/h2>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

You have probably seen photos of this location before, but Avenue de Camoens is a quiet street just a short walk from Trocadero. What makes this location extra special is it\u2019s located on a dead-end street with a gorgeous balcony overlooking the Eiffel Tower. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a popular location amongst other people trying to take photos. Even when I was there, a couple of people were taking photos. But you really can\u2019t beat these views! <\/span><\/p>\n

To avoid any crowds, just head here in the morning. <\/span><\/p>\n

How to get to Avenue de Camoens<\/b>: <\/span>Because it\u2019s located at a higher level than the street below, be on the lookout for a staircase on Boulevard Delessert.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the least secret place on the list, but it is the ultimate place to get the best photos of the Eiffel Tower. In fact, I would recommend coming here at different times of the day (if you can) to have different types of lighting in your photos. <\/span><\/p>\n

A gorgeous time to take photos would be during sunrise, as the sun comes up from the perfect angle. And bonus: sunrise is the least crowded time of the day so you won\u2019t have as many people in your shot. <\/span><\/p>\n

What I love about this location are the many different angles you can take photos from. Some popular angles include: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
