Instagrammable Places in Paris
Eiffel Tower Instagram Spots
The Eiffel Tower is definitely the most iconic landmark of Paris, and any photo posted of it on Instagram is likely to spark that Parisienne wanderlust.
The awesome thing about the Eiffel Tower is that there are multiple Instagrammable places in Paris to capture this eye-catching sight. Here are a few you need to get photos of the Eiffel Tower from.
From Trocadero Plaza
It’s easy to see why Trocadero Plaza is one of the most popular Instagrammable places in Paris. By going to one spot, you have four different photo options.
You can also stay until nightfall to see the Eiffel Tower light up! Remember to bring a blanket for this.
Safety Tip: Since this area has a lot of tourists, pickpocketing is a possibility here. Bring a friend to take photos or set up your travel tripod for selfies in a place with less people.

Conseil Constitutionnel
This is the federal government office in Paris. Sounds serious but there’s this gorgeous courtyard with black and white pillars of all different heights. It’s a great place for fashion shots!
Address: 2 Rue de Montpensier, 75001 Paris, France (see on map)
Rue Crémieux
Rue Crémieux is by far one of the best Instagrammable places in Paris because of how colorful the houses are. It’s also one of the few pedestrian streets with cobblestones from end to end.
There’s no exact reason why these houses are so colorful except that the residents wanted to have an oasis of tranquility within the hustle and bustle of this big city.
There are some houses that have a No Photos sign. Please respect the residents’ homes and privacy when visiting!
Address: Rue Crémieux (see on map)
Spiral Staircase at the National Museum of Gustave Moreau – 9th Arrondissement
Dedicated to the symbolist painter Gustave Moreau, this museum houses approximately 1,200 paintings and almost 5,000 drawings. It also includes the apartment where he once lived and worked, as well as this magnificent spiral staircase.
