The Magical World of Paris: A Photographic Tour
Paris, the City of Lights, is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Whether you’re looking for romantic strolls on the Seine or the buzz of a street market in the Latin Quarter, the French capital is a paradise for all types of photographers. Here are some of the most stunning sights to capture on film.
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris
This UNESCO world heritage site is a must-visit. The awe-inspiring views of the stunning gothic architecture and intricate sculptures cannot be captured in words. Make sure you take your time to capture the details of the gargoyles and stained glass, and take a few shots of the surrounding Marais area as well.
The Eiffel Tower
This is a no-brainer. You can’t visit Paris and not get at least one picture of its most famous landmark. But if you want something a little more eye-catching, think about the contrast between the Eiffel Tower against the backdrop of the evening sky, or at the break of dawn.
Secret Paris
Besides famous monuments, you should explore the lesser-known areas that only locals know about. Think about the cobbled streets, the quaint cafes and the hidden corners. Capture the character of the city off-the-beaten track and fall in love with Paris.
Vibrant Markets
Not only is the Latin Quarter the most sought-after shopping destination in the French capital, but it also offers some of the most vibrant photographs you can capture. Fill your lens with vibrant colors and textures, and don’t forget the human element.
Museums and Galleries
Paris has a wealth of museums and galleries to explore. Wander around the mythological and fine art of the Louvre and the classical statues at the Musée Rodin. Capture the grandeur and majesty of the Montmartre Sacré-Cœur church or take a stroll around the Tuileries Garden.
River Scenes
The Seine is the ribbon that ties together the City of Lights, and is a great subject for a photograph. Stroll around the banks or take a boat ride, and fill your lens with the sights and sounds of the river.
So grab your camera and discover the wonderful city of Paris for yourself. You won’t regret it.
