Paris photoshoots beyond the tower

Yes, you can shoot at other landmarks too. One pick here is at the Arc de Triomphe. Another moves between well-known spots. The family shoot also uses lesser-known corners near the tower.

Pair the shoot with a Paris walking tour: you see the city first, then pose in it.

Hiring a Paris photographer: what to check

Check four things before you book: the meeting point, the number of photos, the delivery time and the refund rule. Every pick here has free cancellation.

None of these shoots include an Eiffel Tower ticket. One listing says to bring your own umbrella if it rains.

Photoshoot ideas: places and times

The meeting points give you the classic spots: the Trocadéro, the river bank at Port de Suffren and the Pont de Bir-Hakeim. For the Arc, shoots start on the Champs-Élysées.

Plan around the light. Paris gets about 215 hours of sun a month in July and August. In December and January it gets under 60, and days are short and grey.

Day photos of the tower are free to use. The night lighting is protected, so commercial use of night photos needs permission.

Weather, outfits and who it suits

Dress for the weather, and bring a layer. Rain falls on 7 to 11 days in every month, so there is no dry season. This table gives the average high and low by month, and what to wear.

Booking tips for a photoshoot

  1. Find the meeting point

    Each shoot has its own meeting point, shown in the table. Save it on your phone and arrive a few minutes early.

  2. Cancel for free

    Every pick here has free cancellation. Check the cut-off time on the listing.

  3. Ask about permits

    Paris needs permission for professional street shoots. Ask your photographer how they handle it.

  4. Check the photo count

    Only one listing states how many photos you get: 10 to 40, by option. Ask the others before you book.

  5. Mind other people

    People in the frame can object to being photographed without consent, even in public. Your photographer can pick quieter angles.

Paris photoshoots: questions and answers

What should I wear for a photoshoot in Paris?

Dress for the season and bring a layer. Highs run from about 46 °F (8 °C) in winter to 78 °F (26 °C) in summer. Rain falls on 7 to 11 days a month, all year.

Do I need a permit for a photoshoot at the Eiffel Tower?

The city requires permission for professional shoots in the streets. Its pages do not say how that applies to a tourist booking a photographer. So ask yours before you book.

Can I post night photos of the Eiffel Tower?

Yes, for personal use. The night lighting is protected, so commercial use of night photos needs permission from the tower. Day photos are free to use.

How many photos do I get?

It depends on the shoot. One listing states 10 to 40 edited photos, by option. The others promise edited photos in an online gallery without a count. Where a delivery time is stated, it runs from 24 to 96 hours.
