If you want to experience Paris in all its splendour, you’ve come to the right place. For this piece, we asked our friends and other travel bloggers which Parisian views they thought were essential to see.
From The Observation Deck Of The Eiffel Tower In Paris
The Eiffel Tower itself, perhaps one of the best viewpoints in the city, is one of the best sites to take in Paris.
The first, second, and top observation decks of the Eiffel Tower offer stunning views of Paris at a height of more than 320 metres. The Sacré Coeur, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, Les Invalides, Place du Trocadéro, and the Champ de Mars are all visible from the observation deck of the tower.
When photographing several landmarks at once, a wide-angle lens is the best option, and a zoom lens is better for focusing on details from above.
A Look Inside The Sacred Heart Basilica In Montmartre
One of the most breathtaking views of Paris I’ve ever seen is from Sacré-Coeur as the sun rises over the city.
Head to the surrounding park and shoot your photos from atop the vibrantly coloured carousel to capture the church in all its splendour and to give your pictures a truly Parisian air.
After your sunrise photo shoot, I advise having brunch in a café in the Montmartre neighbourhood.
From One Of Notre Dame’s Towers, a Picture
The Notre Dame Cathedral is one of the most well-known landmarks in the beloved city of Paris, which is home to many other famous structures. This famous Gothic church is situated in the 4th arrondissement of Paris’s Île de la Cité and dates back to the Middle Ages.
You can take a tour of the cathedral and admire the beautiful and intricate carvings on and around the entrance door in addition to going into the crypt. But near the summit of Notre Dame is where it really shines. For some of the best views of Paris, ascend a rickety, winding staircase to the pinnacle of the cathedral.
You may see this gargoyle near the summit watching the city below. The highlight of my trip was this aerial picture of Paris with the gargoyle. Can you fathom all he has witnessed?
The Third Alexandra Canal bridge
The Pont Alexandre III is one of Paris’s most charming Seine River bridges. The Alexandre III bridge is one of Paris’s most picturesque locations due to its close proximity to other tourist hotspots and its beautiful architecture.
The bridge bears Alexandre III, a Russian tsar, as its name. The honour of laying the cornerstone was bestowed upon his son Nicholas II in 1896, who is better known as the final tsar of Russia. The next year, during the universal exhibition in Paris, the bridge was properly “opened.”
The bridge is embellished with unusual lanterns, art nouveau-inspired sculptures, and nymphs. The golden-winged horses blend wonderfully with the white stone and steel building.
The Montparnasse Tower’s View
The Montparnasse Tower is the only skyscraper and the tallest building in the city of Paris. You can also view all of Paris from here, which is a bonus.
As its name suggests, the Montparnasse Tower is located in Paris’s Montparnasse neighbourhood. The two-story observation deck on this 210-foot office tower offers 360-degree views. Visitors can take advantage of the café, bar, and spectacular views of Paris on the ground floor of the observatory.
At any time of day or night, the open-air terrace on the second story is renowned for its spectacular views of Paris. For some of the most magnificent pictures, go in the early morning, at sunset, or, my personal favourite, when Paris comes alive at night.
The View From The Pantheon
When in Paris, you absolutely must see the Panthéon. The Grandes Hommes of France was laid to rest at this Neoclassical church in Paris’ Latin Quarter in 1791. A model of Foucault’s pendulum hangs from the cupola within, providing for an interesting visit in addition to the graves.
It is a well-kept secret that the cupola of the Pantheon offers one of Paris’ greatest vistas from April through October. It is well to pay the additional two euros to climb on a sunny day.
The Eiffel Tower and the golden cupola of the Invalides are both visible in the distance from this location, which is also referred to as the Balcony of Paris, which looks down rue Soufflot all the way to the Luxembourg Gardens and the Senate.
The Montmartre Scene
The Montmartre hill, a sizable hill, dominates the northern part of Paris. It is 130 metres tall. The butte is now a popular tourist destination, and tourists can be seen everywhere.
In the sixteenth century, Loyola established the Jesuits in Montmartre. It has served as a source of inspiration for artists since the late 19th century, including Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, and Pablo Picasso.
The Basilica of the Sacré-Coeur dominates the hilltop with its recognisable white dome. Right in front of the church lies one of the most beautiful views in the city. Visitors can get a panoramic view of the city by standing in the open space at the bottom of the stairs at the Square Louise-Michel. Your back will be to the basilica when you are standing at the base of the scales. You may take some beautiful pictures here and have a great starting point for exploring the rest of Montmartre.
Cafe Marly offers a Breathtaking View Of The Louvre Pyramid
One of Paris’s greatest vistas is from Cafe Marly. The charming Cafe Marly is located inside the Louvre Museum’s gates. You have a stunning view of the famous Louvre Pyramid from here.
It is conveniently situated close to the Louvre Pyramid in the western part of the museum. You’re welcome to snap pictures inside the cafe whenever it’s open. If you get there early, there will be fewer people in the shots you can snap. The Louvre is one of the most well-liked tourist destinations in the entire city of Paris, thus crowds also look fantastic in the picture.
The best thing is that you can eat some delectable refreshments and take beautiful pictures at the same time. There isn’t a finer location to relax before or after perusing the Louvre’s collection.
The Arc De Triomphe’s Summit
For one of the best aerial views of Paris, ascend to the summit of the Arc de Triomphe. Napoleon, I ordered the construction of this 55-meter-tall triumphal arch in 1806 to mark the end of the Napoleonic and French Revolutionary Wars. There is also the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, whose perpetual flame is kindled each night.
The Historical Axis lies just beneath your feet on the east, and a short distance away is the Champs Elysées, Place de la Concorde, the Tuileries Garden, and the Louvre Palace. In the distance, one can also make out the spire of Notre Dame de Paris and the glass dome of the Grand Palais.
Even while the Champs Elysées and the Tuileries Gardens are lovely all year round, they are especially lovely in the fall months of October and November when viewed from atop the Arc de Triomphe.
Stunning View From Trocadéro
One of the nicest vistas of the Eiffel Tower in the city may be found from Trocadéro in the 16th Arrondissement of Paris. You can see the Eiffel Tower’s front from here because it is directly across the Seine River.
The 1937-built Palais Chaillot dominates Trocadéro. One of the go-to locations for professional photographers when shooting in Paris is the esplanade between the two buildings and the stairs leading to the Trocadéro Gardens.
Tourists routinely swarm the esplanade at Trocadéro, a favourite spot for Parisian photos. For one of Paris’s best views without the crowds, arrive early in the day. Only professional photographers are in operation early in the day; regular tourists begin to arrive at Trocadéro around nine in the morning.
