Evoking a sense of intrigue and wonder in her visitors with famous icons, avenues with French character, and gothic architecture, Paris is famous for cafes and gardens and Parisian rooftops all providing elegant and outstanding locations to take photos during your Parisian rendezvous.
It is no wonder that visitors love to capture a shot of the magnificent Icon, the Eiffel Tower. Fortunately, there are plenty of vantage points across the city to get a photo of this tower. The best spot is right from underneath it, however, a few good alternative spots are possible some of which are the Banks of the river Seine, to have the tower framed by trees, or from Trocadero square which is full of gardens situated by the side of the Eiffel Tower or even from the rooftop café of Printemps Department store as used by visitors at heritage hotels.
Built originally in the 12th century as a fortress Louvre is now the most visited museum in the world.

Outside of the museum are spaces artistically landscaped with gardens and spaces for people to enjoy, admire and capture photos.
