Highlights of your shooting in each area will give you some idea of what to expect. The area around the Eiffel Tower offers several interesting bridges. South of the Tower, and well lighted from noon onwards are the Pont DTena which leads to the Tower; the Pont Mirabeau, with its giant statues; and the Pont Grenelle, which has a replica of the Statue of Liberty. The Tower can be photographed from the Palais de Chaillot:. Of course the Tower can be seen from many parts of the city and throughout your travels you will see many 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

The Tower, standing 984 feet high, was erected originally for the exhibition of 1889. From its peak one can see 60 miles on a clear day — enough said for a panoramic shot. Cost to the top of the Tower, 350 francs (nearly $1.00). The Palais de Chaillot, just West of the Tower, is a modern structure rebuilt for the 1937 Paris Exhibition. In 1948 the U.N.O. met here. The Palais houses several museums and a play house. Reached by Metro to Trocadero station, the Palais begins with a pleasant walk, first through its own grounds, the Trocadero Gardens, across the Seine to the Eiffel Tower, and then to the Ecole Militaire. You will find many interesting angles on the Palais, with its modern architecture and giant statues. Lining the square between the two sections of the Palais are rows of smaller statues that will give you a nice foreground for a shot of the Eiffel Tower. Walking to the Tower and under its huge arched base will give you a view of the Palais with the cascading fountains, framed, if you like, by the arches of the Tower. Extending from the Eiffel Tower to the Ecole Militaire is the Champs de Mars. From this neatly laid out garden you can shoot both the Tower and the Ecole Militaire. The Ecole Militaire was built in 1752 by Louis XV for training army officers. Its use continues today. Just North of the Ecole Militaire is the Hotel Des Invalides. Built by Louis XIV as a home for crippled French soldiers, it now houses a museum and the tomb of Napoleon and Marshal Foch. Its 345 foot dome is another Paris landmark, visible from most parts of the city. Spreading out from the Hotel Des Invalides to the Pont Alexandre III is the Esplande des Invalides. A walk down the Esplanade across the Pont Alexandre III brings you to the Grand Palais and directly across the street from it the Petit Palais. Both were constructed as part of the Great Exhibition of 1900. Today the Petit Palais is the city's Museum of Fine Art and the Grand Palais exhibits the annual Horse Show and Motor Show. These are mentioned more for general interest than for photographic possibilities. From the Palais, take a bus (No. 72) West on Avenue New York, to the Musee Galliera and the New York Palace. For those who like walking, we suggest this rather photographic stroll along the Seine. The Musee Galliera is a modern group of museums. These buildings offer some fine angular shorts of their ultra-modern style and bas-reliefs, when you finish you return near your starting point at Metro Trocadero. Another morning begins with a subway to St. Germain des Pres. This puts you in the Latin Quarter. Across from the station is the church of St. Germain des Pres, the oldest in Paris. Picturesque from the outside, this 11th century church has a collection of magnificent paintings inside. Across the street from the church you can sip your mid-morning coffee at either the Cafe de Flore or Aux Deux Magots. Located on Place St. Germain des Pres, these were the meeting places made famous by the writers of the last century and currently well known as the cradle of existentialism. From here, before noon, walk South along Rue Bonaparte a couple of blocks to Place St. Sulpice. Here you will do your morning shooting as mentioned before.
