5+ Eiffel Tower Photo Spots You Can’t Miss (A Paris Photographer's Guide)
WRITTEN BY KAROL @THECREATIVE.SITE
Paris isn’t just a city—it’s a feeling. And there’s perhaps no better way to experience that magic than to see the Eiffel Tower from the most beautiful and cinematic spots scattered across the city. In this special vlog and article, I’m taking you along my personal walking route, from iconic squares to hidden gems, all offering unforgettable views of the Iron Lady.
Whether you’re a photographer, traveler, or hopeless romantic, this is your ultimate Eiffel Tower tour, designed to help you explore the real charm of Paris.
1. Trocadéro Square
📍 Trocadero Map
Let’s start where most postcard views are born—Trocadéro Square. This elevated spot offers the perfect front-facing shot of the Eiffel Tower. It’s usually crowded, so come early in the morning to enjoy a peaceful view and soft golden light for photography.
2. Avenue de New York
📍 Location
Just a short walk from Trocadéro, this riverside street gives a more cinematic, side-angle view of the Eiffel Tower. You’ll catch reflections on the water and maybe even a river cruise passing by.
3. Port Debilly – The Riverbank Escape
📍 Location
Follow the stairs near Avenue de New York down to Port Debilly. It’s perfect for a riverside walk and is one of Paris’s hidden gems for romantic picnics and proposals. It feels like a quiet, personal moment in the middle of a buzzing city.
4. Pont d’Iéna – Bridge Views
📍 Location
Cross the Pont d’Iéna for a new perspective. The bridge offers a wide, majestic view of the Eiffel Tower and leads you into new scenery waiting on the other side.
5. Promenade d'Australie – Hidden Greenway
📍 Location
Heading upstream, you’ll find this peaceful pedestrian route nestled between trees and the Seine. Few tourists know about this walk, but it’s perfect for a slow stroll or a dreamy photoshoot.
6. Pont de Bir-Hakeim – A Cinematic Wonder
📍 Location
An architectural icon and a filming location for Inception, this two-level bridge is one of my favorites. It’s perfect for rain or shine, and it gives a dynamic city vibe with metro trains passing above. Pro tip: take metro line 6 between Passy and Bir-Hakeim stations for an amazing aerial view!
7. Mission Impossible Spot at Passy Station
📍 Location
The walkway beneath Bir-Hakeim leads toward Passy Metro Station, another hidden gem featured in Mission Impossible 6. If you’re a fan of the movies, you’ll love this cinematic location.
8. Place du Costa Rica – Café Culture
📍 NOIR Café Location
After all that walking, you deserve a break. This lovely neighborhood is filled with authentic Parisian cafés and boulangeries. My favorite? NOIR Café at 1 Rue de Passy. Grab a coffee and enjoy the local rhythm of life.
9. Avenue de Camoëns – The Iconic Instagram Shot
📍 Location
Let’s finish with a flourish. Avenue de Camoëns is one of the most photographed spots in Paris, with an amazing stairway that perfectly frames the Eiffel Tower. I shoot here several times a week, and my work from this very spot was even featured in Vogue Polska
