From either the Eiffel Tower in Paris to the imposing fortresses of the Loire Valley and the romantic coastal vistas of the French Riviera, France provides photography with an unending supply of inspirations. Beautiful natural landscapes, like the French Alps, mirror the splendour of the nation’s magnificent churches and beautiful capitals, while little agricultural towns make for picturesque backdrops.
Eiffel tower
The Eiffel Tower, the most recognizable popular destination in Paris, is so enormous that this is challenging to photograph. The use of distant photography is one remedy. The Jardins du Trocadéro, which are located throughout the Seine River, offer a stunning background with their expansive promenade and beautiful ponds. When viewed from this perspective at daybreak, the glowing brightly casts the Iron Lady against a beautiful backdrop.
Walking around the Eiffel Tower will allow artists to capture it from various perspectives. Distinctive elements, like the freshly rebuilt gardens next to the Eiffel Tower’s promenade, are mentioned in our guidebook to viewing the Eiffel Tower.
Mont-Saint Michel
Especially during high tide, whenever the peninsula seems to emerge from the water and fly upwards, Mont Saint-Michel gives off a wonderful image. Ever since eleventh century, travellers have admired the majestic beauty of this Gothic abbey.
Our guidebook to exploring Mont Saint-Michel highlights the magnificent mediaeval structure of the Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel and offers advice for traversing the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel. UNESCO has recognised both the monastery and the lagoon as World Heritage Sites.
Versailles Garden
The lawns of the Château de Versailles were designed in the seventeenth century by famous landscape architect André Le Nôtre in his unique style of discipline and elegance. The gardens have been beautifully manicured, with row after row of garden beds, highly decorative fountains, sculptures, and monuments giving them a more art-like appearance than a natural setting.
Chateau de Chenonceau
Due to its unique construction and elegant feminine design, the Château de Chenonceau distinguishes itself among the many fantasy fortresses in the Loire Valley. A corridor of the fortress spans the River Cher and is supported by an arching footbridge, providing tranquil views of the structure mirrored in the waters.
Saint-Tropez
During the 1950s, Saint-Tropez, a little fishing community, blossomed into a posh coastal destination. However, the town has kept its original Provençal charm, as evidenced by the pastel-colored buildings and courtyards that are shadowed by trees. There are numerous locations, like the yacht-filled harbour, La Ponche (the historic settlement), and great beaches, where you may take beautiful pictures.
Amiens Cathedral
The biggest Gothic church in France is the Cathédrale Notre-Dame in Amiens, which dates to the middle ages. The Cathedral of Amiens is notable for its magnificently decorated exterior, which includes thousands of carved religious figures in addition to its amazing dimensions. A close-up image of the temple’s front showing just a tiny proportion of the structure would make for an intriguing photograph.
