My secret tips: I recommend you take your photos here in the morning to avoid the crowd. Hopefully they will put it back once tourism is “back to some kind of normal”. but it has been removed since the pandemic. There used to be a carousel at the end of the right side of the gardens, which was one of the best Eiffel Tower Instagram photo spots. You will find more info about the exact dates of the blooms in my article about spring in Paris. The gardens at this time of the year are at the top of the most instagrammable places with the Eiffel Tower! And then in May you have paulownia trees blooming some purple flowers all along the right and left alleys: it’s magical! There are also a few chestnut trees offering some red blooms at the same time. These beautiful gardens are especially interesting in spring! In April you have some pretty pink cherry blossoms. The fountain is usually full of water in summer and empty in winter. You will find two green spaces on both sides and a large fountain in the middle. Once you have come down the stairs you will arrive in Trocadero gardens ( Jardins du Trocadéro). Usually, people do not stay too long here, so you can just wait until someone leaves to get a spot to take a photo with the Eiffel Tower! And again, pay attention to your belongings!

These staircases were under renovation from May 2020 until Dec 2022 and they are now fully accessible! But FYI you cannot sit or stand on the staircase ledge anymore. These stairs create a great photo spot with the Eiffel Tower and that’s why you can see them all over Instagram! There are 2 staircases: one on the right side and one on the left side. Do not let any of your bags unattended.įrom the large Esplanade du Trocadéro, you can go down a series of stairs to get closer to the Eiffel Tower. Please keep this in mind when you walk around and when you take your photos. On a side note you really have to pay attention to your belongings here! Because it’s touristy, there are many thieves in this area. The earlier you arrive in the morning, the less people you will see. So, if you want to take good photos here, I highly recommend coming at sunrise. My secret tips: This place is very popular and extremely touristy. They added some pointy stones at the top of all the ledge parts and the staircases to prevent people from sitting or standing there.
