All about Paris Photography Spots
3 Best Paris Travel Photography Spots
1. Pont Neuf
Pont Neuf (New Bridge) is the oldest standing stone bridge across the river Seine in Paris. It is on the west side of Île de la Cité (island), where was the heart of the city during the medieval period. And no surprise, it is highly recommended by locals for people who travel to Paris.
Photo composition brainstorm:
- Walking on the bridge.
- Stand on the stone bench and have the Seine in the background.
- Sunset pic at the beginning of the bridge.
2. Parisian Book Stalls (Bouquinistes)
The Bouquinistes are the Seine riverside booksellers in Paris. They usually have green painted boxes/stands and sell used and antiquarian books and etc. You can always find unique pieces there and it is such a joy to walk next to the Seine while checking interesting things. It is one of the iconic street style looks in Paris that many people LOVE!
Photo composition brainstorm:
In order to take a less possed picture, or say more natural Paris travel photo. You can let the model explore the place as if they not getting photos taken. Here are some ideas you can try.
- Passing by bouquinistes
- Stopping at the bookstall and check drawings
- Sit on the stone wall next to the bouquinistes
3. The Seine Riverside
There are countless places to take riverside photos in Paris. But it depends on the time you go and the surroundings of the bank, the results of the photos can have big differences. This riverside I recommend here is really good for sunset shooting, the sun would hit the riverside softly and your skin and create a very dreamy look. And you can also capture the golden sparkles shining on the river too. Just SO beautiful!
I have illustrated exactly how to get down to this part of the river bank. For details please kindly check the downloadable map I carefully designed for you.
Photo composition brainstorm:
- Sit at riverside
- Walking next to the riverside
- Enjoy your moment
*Kind Reminder: These Paris photo spots are suitable for people who are looking for less touristic, more authentic and local looking places in Paris for their photos.
