As a professional photographer specialised in family photoshoots in Paris, people always ask me about the best spots for their family session. To help you decide what are the best backgrounds for your family photo session, I gathered here the 10 best places in Paris.
They all have their own atmosphere, depending if you are looking for some iconic monuments, hidden gems or both.
1- Trocadero
If you are looking for the best view on the Eiffel Tower, it’s definitely the place to go for your family photoshoot.
Tip: the best time of the day is sunrise or in the morning, otherwise, it would be too crowdy.
2- Bir Hakeim Bridge
If you want the Eiffel Tower in the background but not sure that your children will be in a great mood in the early morning, this is also a great spot to have the Eiffel Tower as a scenery.
Tip: if it may rain in Paris, it’s also a great place to go as it is covered.
3- Alexander 3 Bridge
The Alexander 3 bridge is one of the most beautiful bridge in Paris. It connects the Champs-Elysées to Invalides. Its golden statues as well its Art-Nouveau lamps will bring a stylish to your photos.
