Scenic viewpoint, Panoramic observation point near Tour Eiffel, Paris, France
The viewpoint presents a sweeping view across the Seine River, providing clear sights of numerous Parisian landmarks and architectural elements throughout the day.
The observation area became established during the 1889 World Exhibition, when visitors gathered to observe the construction of the Eiffel Tower.
Many French painters and photographers gather at this location during different times of day to capture the changing colors of the Parisian skyline.
The viewpoint remains open every day without entrance fees and connects directly to the Bir-Hakeim metro station through a pedestrian pathway.
During winter mornings, the rising sun creates a natural light show as it reflects off the surrounding glass buildings and the Seine River surface.
