★★★★★3 months agoThe Jardins du Trocadéro are such a beautiful spot in Paris! The view of the Eiffel Tower from here is simply amazing, especially with the fountains in front, it’s perfect for photos. The gardens are well kept and great for a relaxing walk or just sitting and enjoying the atmosphere. It can get a bit busy, but the vibe is lively and fun. A must-visit place to soak in some classic Paris beauty!

★★★★★3 months agoThe view here is absolutely worth it!!! We took an Uber and it dropped us off right in the front the steps looking towards the Eiffel Tower. We went on a Monday around 2pm and there wasn’t a ton of people there. We also went to the restaurant right next to it called Cafe de l’Homme, which was a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower. I highly recommend going there (very pricey though) if you’d like to spend a special night together with a great view.
