Eiffel Tower Photo Guide

The Eiffel Tower, standing at 324 meters tall, is the iconic symbol of Paris. Built for the 1889 World Expo, it transforms throughout the day—from an elegant steel lacework during daylight to a golden veil at sunset, and finally, a sparkling spectacle at night with its hourly light show. Designer Gustave Eiffel even left a secret apartment at the top, now a romantic urban legend.

Photo Spots:
1️⃣ Pont de Bir-Hakeim
▸ Featured in the movie "Inception," this double-deck steel bridge offers a perfect frame with the Eiffel Tower.
▸ Best time to shoot: early morning or dusk, when light filters through the bridge arches for a dreamy effect.

2️⃣ Champ de Mars
▸ The vast lawn at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, a favorite picnic spot for Parisians.
▸ Bring a bottle of wine and a baguette in the afternoon to capture the tower’s reflection in the sunset.

3️⃣ Trocadéro Gardens
▸ The best platform for a panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower, with fountains that allow for symmetrical compositions.
▸ Arrive before 8 AM to avoid crowds.

✨ Hidden Gems:
▪️ The stairs on the south side of the tower offer more photogenic angles than the elevator.
▪️ A 5-minute diamond light show occurs every Thursday to Sunday at 11 PM.
▪️ The "Passy" metro station exit provides a unique view of the Eiffel Tower emerging from the tunnel.
