PARIS PHOTO GUIDE + LOCATIONS
Paris is one of the most photogenic cities in the world so you can't visit and miss the it shot. Prepare to fill your insta-feed with stunning architecture, old Parisian charm, and of course, lots of Eiffel tour views....here are my favorite photo spots in the city of love!
AU VIEUX PARIS : this classically Parisian cafe is stunning and beyond drool-worthy.
Address : 24 Rue Chanoinesse, 75004 Paris, France
RUE CREMIEUX : The cotton candy colored pedestrian street is lined with the most beautiful (and photogenic!) private homes.Take a closer look here.
Address : Rue Crémieux, Paris, France
NOTRE DAME : the iconic Cathedral is an architectural dream located on a tiny island in the River Seine.
Address : 38 Quai d'Orleans
La Maison Rose + Montmatre : this is one of my favorite areas in all of Paris. The cafe scene is unparalleled and there's something about being up in the hills above the city that is so refreshing. Even in the midst of high summer season, you can still find little corners with very few people.
Address : La Maison Rose, Rue de l'Abreuvoir, Paris, France
The Sinking House of Paris : it's actually more of an optical illusion than a real sinking house, which is why so many people probably miss it altogether! Leaving the Sacre de Couer, head down the first set of stairs facing central Paris...look to your left and turn your head to have the ground completely horizontal and voila! A sinking house.
Address : 5 Rue du Cardinal Dubois
Sacré-Cœur Basilica : The stunning Basilica of the Sacred Heart is a photo not to be missed. The church is breathtaking with its' pearly white dome standing tall above the city and appears photogenic whatever the season.
Address : 13 Place Saint-Pierre
THE LOUVRE : Most people will say if you want the infamous Louvre shot you have to arrive with the sun to avoid 1.1 million other people in your photo....not neccessarily true. This one was snapped on a Saturday afternoon. It's all about positioning. The museum courtyard is filled with unique ways to get the it shot -- from the various sized barriers you can stand on to balconies of the museum to getting creative with the fountain.
Address : Cour Napoléon et Pyramide du Louvre
Jardin des Tuileries : stretching from the Louvre to the Place de la Concorde, this lush park is a definitely photo worthy. Getting a gorgeous alley shot between the trees, probably only for the early riser...this place is trickled with people throughout the day.
Le Palais Royal : any stripe lover will agree that Palais Royal is the Parisian photo op.
Address : 8 Rue de Montpensier
Galeries Lafayette : the rooftop terrace is an incredible view of Paris and a great way to see it all and get your bearings of the city.Address : 40 Boulevard Haussmann
A Parisian Terrace Photo : it's the classic shot of Paris but finding a gram-worthy window or terrace isn't always the easiest. We stayed at the Hilton Paris Opera and the balconies and views were exceptional! Read more here.
Tour Eiffel : of course, you can't miss this iconic photo when in Paris. My favorite locations to take a pic are here :
Address : Place Jacques Rueff OR Place du Trocadéro
