If you’re planning a trip to Paris and want more than just snapshot selfies in front of the Eiffel Tower, this private photoshoot experience might just be the perfect addition to your itinerary. While I haven’t done this particular session myself, what I’ve gathered from trusted reviews and detailed info suggests it offers a personalized, professional approach to capturing those iconic Parisian moments.
What really stands out are the personalized guidance from an experienced photographer and the quality of the photos you get afterward—think professional, high-resolution images you’ll want to print or share online. On the flip side, a key consideration is that the price doesn’t include entry inside the Eiffel Tower, so if you’re hoping for photos from its interior, this isn’t the experience for you. This experience suits travelers who value high-quality keepsakes of their trip and don’t mind paying a bit extra for top-notch photos with a professional.

What to Expect from the Experience
This isn’t your typical hurried photo stop. Instead, it’s a carefully curated session designed to give you a handful of well-composed, beautifully edited images in about an hour. Max Rumeau, the photographer behind this experience, has years of expertise in Paris photography. His clients consistently mention how he makes everyone feel comfortable, which really does make a difference when you’re trying to look natural and relaxed for photos.
You begin your session at the Esplanade du Trocadéro, a spot widely loved for its breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower. It’s a prime location, often less crowded early in the morning or on quieter weekdays, and most reviews highlight how easy it is to find Max there. From this starting point, Max takes you around the Eiffel Tower area, choosing the best spots, angles, and lighting to maximize your photos.
Throughout the session, Max offers guidance on posing and suggests different angles, which adds a professional touch most of us can’t manage on our own. For families or couples, the experience is tailored to ensure everyone looks natural and confident. Many reviews mention how Max’s advice just makes everything flow smoothly, turning what could be awkward into fun and memorable.

The Photos and Delivery

After your shoot, you’ll receive a private online gallery filled with the edited images. The package includes 20 edited photos for 1 or 2 persons and 30 photos for families. The reviews show happy customers who appreciate the quick turnaround—often within just a few days—and the quality of the images, which are described as “professional,” “high resolution,” and “beautiful.”
One reviewer noted that even if the weather isn’t perfect—say, it’s rainy or cloudy—Max is flexible and takes you to locations where weather won’t spoil your photos. It’s clear from client feedback that the photographer values making sure you’re happy with the results, whether that’s by adjusting locations or timings.
Extra photos can be purchased if you want even more options, which is helpful if you’re planning multiple poses or want a variety of shots. Some clients have mentioned how the edited color tone and the black and white versions especially stood out, giving a nice variety without extra effort.
The Value for Money

At around $150.61 per person, this experience is definitely an investment. But considering you’re getting professional guidance, high-quality edits, and a memorable experience with a renowned landmark as your backdrop, many see it as worthwhile. Cheaper options might get you similar photos, but probably not with the same level of personalization or quality.
When comparing this to hiring a photographer independently, the package’s convenience and the curated experience—plus the insider tips—add extra value. Plus, reviews consistently highlight the professionalism of Max and the ease of the process, which makes the whole thing feel worth the price.
The Experience in Practice

Many clients describe their session as more than just a photo shoot—it’s a fun, relaxed experience that captures their Paris memories perfectly. One review noted how Max made them feel comfortable from the start, guiding them with poses and suggestions, resulting in photos they truly loved. Another highlighted how the shoot was adaptable despite weather conditions, which can often be a concern in Paris.
The meeting point at Esplanade du Trocadéro is ideal—accessible via public transit and close to the Eiffel Tower. The session is private, so only your group participates, keeping things intimate and personalized.
While the experience doesn’t include entry inside the Eiffel Tower, the cosmic view from Trocadéro already gives you that classic Parisian postcard feel. Plus, the longer you take to pose and explore different angles, the more varied and special your photos will turn out.
Who Is This Experience Best For?

If you’re someone who values professional photos as keepsakes or needs high-quality images for a special occasion—like an engagement, anniversary, or just a memorable trip—this is a solid choice. It’s particularly well-suited for couples or families who want a bit of guidance and a stress-free way to get gorgeous pictures.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a quick snapshot and aren’t interested in investment, this might feel a bit pricey. Also, keep in mind that the price doesn’t include interior tours of the Eiffel Tower, so if that’s your plan, you’ll need to book separately.
