Paris City Sights – Photo Essay
We visited Paris for a long weekend and absolutely loved it. For me it was my first ever European city after visiting London and Edinburgh and it was everything I dreamed it would be.
The architecture, food and people made it one of the most memorable few days on our 2 and a half years of travel so far.
We wanted to share some of our favourite photos from that amazing time there. Enjoy!
Looking towards the Champs-Elysee at sunset.
View from the top of the Arc de Triomphe.
The stunning and beautiful Louvre (and the hordes of tourists). If you wish to avoid them you might want to consider pre-purchasing Paris attraction tickets.
Paris at dusk is brilliant with everyone coming out to enjoy the city.
Notre Dame Cathedral from the “lovers bridge”.
Napoleon’s body lies within Les Invalides Tombs.
If you ever visit Paris then make sure you visit the Eiffel Tower during the day and at night. When it is all lit up it really is magical.
Which of the above is your favourite photo?

Love the sky on the Tomb of the Invalids shot
Thanks Laurence. The evenings in Paris create some beautiful lighting effects with all the older buildings.
There is no other word for this than GORGEOUS! I’ve pinned several of your photos. I hope to one day get to Paris and see some of these sights for myself, but until then I appreciate jaunting there by way of you. THX!
Wow thanks for sharing our photos Courtney we are really glad you enjoyed them
I am sure you will get over there soon and will love it as much as we did!
These photos are fab. I really like the one of the bridge filled with lovelocks, which looks considerably more packed than when I visited last year. I think the authorities took them down for a while, but people started putting them on again, ha ha. Paris is such a great place to photograph.
Yea I heard they took them down and within hours there were loads back on there again! Pretty crazy. Would love to go back.
Beautiful photos, you should be proud! I’m embarrassed to say that despite living in Europe I still haven’t been to Paris.
You have to go Laurel! It is so beautiful and they have amazing food haha.
These are really beautiful photos of Paris – I especially love the second one!
Cheers Christy! It is an easy place to photograph that’s for sure.
I love the one of the Arc de Triomphe!!! Such a beautiful view! I can’t wait to go to Paris!!
You will love it Kelly! Make sure you take loads of photos too
Great photos! Paris is such a gorgeous city!
Thanks Ali
We loved it and hoping to head back to France again soon.
Bien vu la note est informative et sympathique !
Thanks for sharing : Sergio
No problem Sergio. Thanks for checking out the blog
Gorgeous photos! I especially loved the picture taken from the top of the Arc–magnificent!
I don’t think I realised how symmetrical it was until I checked my photos later that night!
Wow, these are some really really pretty photos! Makes my heart swoon. I really need to visit Paris.
You would love it! And it is probably only a few hours from Berlin by train
These really are great shots. Don’t know how to pin pictures from other sites, but do wish I could pin your Louvre photo onto my pinterest Louvre page. Did you burn the clouds in it? Just lovely.
