What to Expect from this Paris Photo Shoot

The photographer will guide you into flattering poses, but the goal is to produce images that feel authentic, not overly staged. The meeting point is right next to the impressive sculpture “Apollon Musagète” at Trocadéro, a location that offers one of the best views of the Eiffel Tower, making it an ideal starting point for your photo session.

The Starting Location

You’ll meet your photographer at “Apollon Musagète” by Henri Bouchard, located at 1 Place du Trocadéro et du 11 Novembre. It’s right next to the Eiffel Tower’s viewing area and easy to find, thanks to the large sculpture and the crowds gathering for photos. Here, you’ll get a sense of the layout and start with some classic shots with the Eiffel Tower as your backdrop.

The Secret Stop

One of the highlights of this tour is the “secret stop” — a less obvious but equally photogenic spot that gives your photos a unique edge. Whether it’s a scenic view, a quiet street, or a famous landmark, this is where your photographer’s knowledge of the city really shines, helping you find those perfect angles away from the crowds.

The Itinerary in Detail

While the exact locations can be tailored to your preferences, the experience generally includes:

Start at Trocadéro: Known for its sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower, this spot is perfect for classic Parisian shots. We loved the way the monument framed the city behind us, making for dramatic photos.
Montmartre or the Louvre: Depending on your choice, your photographer might take you to the historic streets of Montmartre, with its cobblestone charm and artistic vibe, or the grand, architectural beauty of the Louvre area. Both locations offer a different mood, from romantic to artsy.
Additional Scenic Spots: The session can include scenic views on the way, or a walk through some of Paris’s iconic neighborhoods, capturing the lively street scenes, quaint cafes, or the calm Seine.

Pricing & Value

At $94 per group, this experience isn’t the cheapest way to get photos in Paris, but it’s also not the most expensive when you consider professional guidance, retouching, and the personalized approach. A key point is that you’re paying for a tailored, stress-free session with a local who knows the city’s best photo spots, which can save you hours of wandering and experimenting with angles.

For travelers who want quality over quantity, this is a good deal. The ability to choose your locations, combined with the professional guidance and high-quality images, makes this a valuable option, especially if capturing memories is a priority for your trip.

Is this experience family-friendly?

While the experience is suitable for individuals, couples, and groups, it’s also accessible to families with children, provided everyone is comfortable being photographed. The relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to get natural shots, but keep in mind the duration and your children’s patience levels.

Final Thoughts

This private photo shoot offers more than just pictures — it’s a chance to relax and enjoy your time in Paris while someone else handles the photography. The flexible locations, expert guidance, and quality images make it a worthwhile addition for anyone wanting professional photos without the hassle of figuring out the best spots on their own.

If you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to have beautiful, natural images of your Paris trip, this experience could hit the mark. Just keep in mind the price and digital-only delivery, which might not appeal if you’re looking for printed keepsakes or a very quick turnaround.

Overall, it’s a great way to turn your sightseeing into a memorable photo session, especially if stunning views are what you’re after.
