Scenic viewpoint

This viewpoint overlooks the Seine with clear views of many Parisian landmarks and buildings across the cityscape. Visitors can observe the architectural details and layout of the city from different angles throughout the day.

This viewpoint was established during the 1889 World Fair when people gathered to watch the Eiffel Tower being built. It became a set location for observers who wanted to follow this major construction project.

Photographers and artists visit to document how light changes throughout the day across the rooftops and waterfront. The location attracts people who want to capture the shifting appearance of the city.

This location is open daily and free to visit. It is easily accessible on foot and well connected by public transportation.

On winter mornings, the rising sun creates reflections as it bounces off the glass facades and the river surface. This natural light display is visible for only a short time at the beginning of the day.
