??????????? I don't understand the question. Are you looking for a way to get yourself in a picture in front of the Eiffel tower in France? If so, you will have to be quite far away from it to do it and you will have to use a tripod and self timer.


If I am not understanding this right, I am sorry.

haven't been there but i think there is some park area in front of it as daughter has a photo of herself and those she went to paris with that have the whole tower in it. found it

she just used a little kodak easy share but if you have a self timer and tripod you could set it up then get all of you in it. or ask someone to take it for you....but it's really big so you would be a ways a way for sure ( for some reason i didn't know it was which made me realize i would be chicken to go up in it )
i did not take this so am not responsible for the tower growing out of the one girl's head

My recommendation is to take the picture from the top of the Arc d'Triumph. That's my favorite one of me in Paris.

The park there is called "Les Champs de Mars" but you could also go to the other side of the tower and take it from "Tracadero"


here is an example....

However, if you're talking about the one at WDW -- you have to be a long way away also -- when you're in France in the World Showcase, you don't see it --it's only part of a model on top of a building -- visible from a distance. It's hard to get it in a photo with people.

There are lots of places in Paris to take pics of the real one -- it is huge and shows up from many places as you tour the city. Be sure to see it at night as well (I think there were cars driving along a street under it at night -- it's beyond huge). When you are close to it, you'll just get pics of large girders, or some of the bottom.

Yes, I agree. Here are a couple of our pictures from there.

The best place to take pictures is far away. It is so big you can see it from all over the city. When you are near it there is no real good way to get it all in the picture.

Not close enough to see in a day -- which are the main things you want to see? You can get about to some of them via the subway/metro. From the Place de la Concorde, you can see the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe in the distance, and the Louvre. You might want to consider the dreaded bus tour. Of course from the Eiffel Tower, weather cooperating, you can see all the city -- but it's all a long ways away.

Wear very comfortable walking shoes, and don't carry anything valuable unless it's under your clothes. Watch out for crazy traffic.

(Do not talk to anyone who is pretending to have found a ring or wallet or anything along the sidewalk -- they are pickpockets).

We spent 2 days at Disneyland Paris.

Left the parks early one night to go to the Moulin Rouge.

The third day we spent in Paris and saw may things. We did the red double decker bus tour and made it to almost everywhere we wanted to hit.

Note: This was a side trip on our trip to London to visit a friend. In London we used the tube (subway) for transportation. In Paris we found it wasn't as easy to navigate, but that was just our experience. And since we were only here one day we wanted to be able to see the city between locations so we opted for the bus. On the bus they tell you about the things you are passing along the way. You miss all that on the subway.

Things we saw on our whirlwind day in Paris! We started early! We stayed on Disney property, so we took the Metro (subway) to the Nord train station where we had to catch the train back to London later that night. Put our luggage in lockers and off we went.

First stop Notre Dame: Inside and out!

For parts of the tour we were the only ones on the bus so they guide did the talking in English.

Lots of traffic everywhere!

Arc de Triomphe and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier - We went to the top too. Lots of stairs!

We did not get to see this up close... Sacared Heart Church.

We did some walking/sight seeing. Don't remember the name of this bridge... Alex... something.

Had some french crapes at the base of the Eiffel Tower.

Went up the Eiffel Tower as far as you could go and we did the stairs! We decided to go run up so we would get farther faster...people were cheering us on...we just got tired faster!

As a note we went in January low travel season so not many tourists.

Made it to the Louvre less than an hour before closing (so we didn't have to pay to get in).

Saw the Mona Lisa.

Didn't make it to the Venus de Milo that section was already closed, but we saw lots of other stuff trying to get there.

Went back to the Eiffel Tower to see it at night.

Back in 2004 it twinkled every 30 minutes or something. The twinkling LED lights look blue in this photo.

Had dinner with a friend.

Got our luggage.

And headed back to London.

We didn't really feel rushed. We were were taking it all in. They was three of us, all in our 20s. We generally don't do relaxing vacations so it might be different for others.

We had lots of travel guides and I planned this trip like a Disney trip. I made a list of what I wanted to see, plotted them all out on the map and started putting together a route. The buses go from major site to site. You can get on and off as you please at the stops. We took it on the further trips between sites and it gave our feet a break and we warmed up.

That lawn in front of the Tower is massive. You could use just about any camera at any focal length (zoom) and get in as much or as little as you want. Just let your feet decide where the best spot is.
