Where to go on a rainy day for a paris family photoshoot

Most of you are asking me about the weather in Paris.

The sky is often grey in Paris, especially in Autumn and Winter, that’s a fact. Altough, that is perfectly fine. Paris is beautiful, no matter what the weather is and your photos will look beautiful as well!

But what if it is raining the day you planned your family photoshoot in Paris?

If it is raining the day of your photo session, the first solution would be to find another time to postpone the session, if possible for both of us. If not, there are few covered locations which are beautiful settings.

Recommanded locations for a family photoshoot on a rainy day in Paris

I made a list of 9 beautiful spots you can consider for your family photo session. Today, I would like to show you 4 locations in case of rain in Paris.

1- Bir Hakeim Bridge

If the weather is uncertain the day of your photo session and you want to have the Eiffel Tower in the background of your photos, this is where we will have the session for sure!

Not only this place is perfect on a rainy day because it is covered, but it also a really photogenic bridge. Look at this street lamp on the photo. And this greeny area around the Eiffel Tower. Isn’t that beautiful?

2- A carroussel

Nearby Bir Hakeim bridge, there is a pretty carroussel that your kids will love!

The must: a photo on the carroussel with a view on the Eiffel Tower…

3- Palais Royal garden

Surrounded by hallways of white arches, this peaceful place is an elegant covered location for your family pictures. And when the sun is coming back, your kids will have all the garden to run around!

4- A parisian cafe

Having a part of your family photo session in a café will give your photos a real parisian atmosphere as well as authentic portraits with your children. Having a break there will be perfect to warm-up and have a yummy hot chocolate!
