3. Avenue du President Wilson
There are many beautiful photo opportunities as you walk along this street, but the best one has to be this spot next to the Palais de Tokyo. Away from the crowds of people, this alternative view of the Eiffel Tower is framed by some wonderful Haussmanian architecture. While it’s an iconic view at any time of day, try going at sunset, or in the night time, when the Eiffel Tower lights up with golden sparkles for 5 minutes every hour, on the hour, making for a beautiful photo opportunity.

4. Rue des Barres
Visit this charming Parisian street for traditional architecture with a splash of colour. It’s a great place to stop for a photo, as well as a perfect location for some parisian people-watching near the banks of the River Seine.

5. Rue de l’Abreuvoir
This popular street in Montmartre is famous for its beauty, especially in the autumn when the leaves growing up the outsides of the buildings are changing colour. From some angles, you can get the Sacre Coeur in the background of your shot, or stand by La Maison Rose at the top of the hill for another great position to capture this street from.
