TheOneToGo
Paris lives and dies on the Eiffel Tower frame, so the photographer who owns the Trocadero timing and the Pont Alexandre III light is the one worth seeking out.
Our pick
The clean Eiffel view from the Trocadero terrace is the shot everyone wants, and it depends entirely on beating the crowd that fills it by mid-morning. The lampposts of Pont Alexandre III and the lanes of Montmartre round out the set. A photographer who works Paris daily knows the precise window when the tower frame stays clear and how the river light flatters the bridges. The early timing is the entire game here.
If our pick doesn't fit
A brief Eiffel Tower session at a significantly lower price, good if you want a few solid portraits without the full outlay.
The photographer accompanies you on a guided stroll through the arrondissements, so you get sightseeing and portraits in one go.
