I visited Paris for the seventh time last week and as usual, looking for photos and places to watch the sunset. Whenever I travel anywhere, watching the sunset is indeed one of my favorite tasks as a visitor!
So for you who like photography or love a beautiful sunset but still don't know where to go in the city, I selected the 5 best places to watch the sunset in Paris.
1- Place Du Trocadero
So I start with a classic and maybe my favorite! A higher, frontal view of the beautiful Eiffel Tower, a view of the Palais de Chaillot and its gardens. Access is easy by metro, or a leisurely 10-15 minute walk from the Arc de Triumph or Champs Elysee.
2 – Montparnasse
Montparnasse is the tallest building in Paris, a trip to the top floor gives you a 360 degree view of the city. Unfortunately the entrance fee is 13 euros, but to have the chance to see all of Paris from the top, it's well worth it!
3 – Basilica of Sacred Heart / Montmartre
Sitting on the steps of Sacré Coeur, watching street performers, dancers and jugglers, having a beer or simply sitting on the lawn with wine and cheese in the French style creates a different energy for an unbelievable view of the city. That's the energy of Montmartre. Super easy access by Anvers metro.
4 – Arc de Triomphe
Since I was little I created a certain charm with this place. I don't think it needs much description because the place itself naturally enchants you, the sunset only adds more magic to the whole scenario. The ascent to the arch is also very worthwhile despite the number of tourists and the fact that you have to pay 9 euros for the ascent.
5 – Rio Sena / Alexander III / Invalides
A part of the city that makes me travel back in time and feel like I'm on a film set of such beauty. Paris is beautiful no matter where you are in the city. But sitting by the river, with a view of the tower or Alexander III bridge at sunset, strengthens that feeling.
Have you ever been to Paris? What is your favorite place in the city to enjoy the sunset?
