PARIS FROM THE OTHER SIDE

Uncover the hidden gems of Paris away from the crowds. Experience the city like never before through its lesser-known streets and views.

Everyone has seen the Eiffel Tower. Everyone has a photo of Notre-Dame. Everyone has stood at the front of Sacre-Coeur, shoulder to shoulder with a thousand strangers, all holding phones at the same angle. This is not that tour. This is my collection of the other views. The ones where you turn around, or walk one street over, or climb the stairs nobody bothers with, and suddenly the whole city reshuffles into something you have never seen in any photo. Some of these spots are genuinely hidden. Some are well known to Parisian photographers but invisible to anyone following the standard tourist trail. A few are famous in their own right, but I am going to tell you exactly where to stand and when to go to see them the way the locals do. We will cross the city over two days. Day one takes you from the back streets of Montmartre to the Eiffel Tower, seen from every angle except the obvious one. Day two starts with a panoramic rooftop, then walks you through the quiet side of Saint-Germain to the bridges where Paris looks the way it has for centuries. You will need comfortable shoes, a charged phone, and the willingness to look left when everyone else is looking right. Let's go.
