Why choose Paris for your photoshoot tour?

There are plenty of amazing cities for photoshoots. So why choose Paris? Well, there’s a romantic film called Before Sunset that can help make up your mind. In it, Jesse, an American, invites Celine, a Parisian, for a boat ride on the Seine. As they contemplate the beauty and history of Notre-Dame Cathedral, Celine remarks “I forget how beautiful Paris is.”

Now, if a Parisian thinks Paris is beautiful — and Parisians are among the most blasé people on the planet — you’ve 1 good reason to pick Paris for your photoshoot tour.

And then there’s A View to a Kill. In this 1985 Bond film shot in Paris, a villain skydives from the Eiffel Tower, paraglides along the Seine river, lands on a wedding party, then makes her getaway in a speed boat.

So you see, Paris is romantic enough and spectacular enough for Hollywood. So we’re willing to bet you will find views and sights aplenty for your Paris photoshoot tour.

The different types of Paris photoshoot tours available

You will find many professional photographers who offer Paris photoshoot tours. Most specialize in photo tours at a specific monument like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, or the Palace of Versailles. Other photographers let you customize the locations of your private shoot. A few offer private photography tours around a special theme, such as flying dresses, night tours, and marriage vow renewal ceremonies.

Best of all, you get amazing photo opportunities not just at a single location like the Eiffel Tower, but at the Louvre Museum, Orsay Museum, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and many more iconic sights of the City of Light.

What are the best locations for a photoshoot in Paris?

The Eiffel Tower is the obvious choice. This monument is the most iconic symbol of the French capital. Any photo with the Eiffel Tower in the background literally screams Paris.

The Louvre Museum is another popular location for a photoshoot tour in Paris. And then of course there’s the refurbished Notre-Dame Cathedral.

If you have other photo locations in mind for your shoot, just let us know. You can customize your private boat trip on the Seine river for your Paris photoshoot. These tours are suitable for families, bachelor/bachelorette parties, wedding proposals, and even professional film and photography crews.

What is included in the photoshoot package?

This can vary greatly between photoshoot packages. Most tours last between 30 minutes and 3 hours in duration. And although many focus on the Eiffel Tower, some operators can accommodate up to 4 photo locations. Some tours include pick-up from hotels.

The cost of a Paris photoshoot tour also varies. You can pay anything between $100 and $500, depending on the duration of the photoshoot tour and optional extras. Some operators offer group discounts.

With My Paris River, you can book a river tour in Paris from €60 per person, depending on the itinerary, duration, number of passengers, and optional extras you wish for. You can also get group discounts if you book for 7 people or more. If you want your photoshoot tour to capture a different side of Paris, we also offer custom tours.
