Everyone shoots Eiffel Tower from Trocadéro, but these spots give you unique Paris photos away from tourist crowds:

Pont Alexandre III at sunrise - ornate Belle Époque bridge with golden details, usually empty early morning with Invalides dome backdrop. Place des Vosges arcades create perfect frames for portraits in Marais. The covered passages like Galerie Vivienne near Palais-Royal have amazing natural light.

Rue Crémieux in 12th arrondissement has colorful houses that look like movie set near Gare de Lyon. Montmartre stairs around Sacré-Cœur (not just tourist viewpoint) create great leading lines. The modern architecture at La Défense contrasts beautifully with classic Haussmanian Paris.

Golden hour tip: shoot facing east in morning around République, west in evening near Seine. Paris limestone buildings around Marais glow beautifully in warm light.
