Why we love this spot



3 iconic zones at the heart of Paris

Place de la Concorde is one of the grandest open spaces in Europe, and it gives photographers something rare: room to breathe.

The monumental scale of the square, the fountains, the obelisk, and the uninterrupted perspectives in every direction create a setting that is both spectacular and surprisingly versatile.

Every dress style works here, and the open sky means the light is consistently beautiful.


01

Two monumental fountains flank the obelisk on each side: the Fontaine des Mers to the south and the Fontaine des Fleuves to the north. The sculpted figures, the jets of water, and the sheer scale of the basins make for truly spectacular compositions.



The FOUNTAINS

02

A hidden gem on the square. From the top of the staircase leading down to the Concorde metro, the obelisk rises directly ahead with the Eiffel Tower appearing softly in the distance. A layered, cinematic composition that clients love.




The metro staircase




03

At the heart of the square stands the Luxor Obelisk, over 3,000 years old and 23 metres tall. A unique and striking backdrop that adds a sense of history and grandeur to any portrait.

By default, a 1H session covers one location: Place de la Concorde. Any additional spot requires a 2H session or more. Here are our favorite combinations from this location.



Two of the grandest landmarks in Paris, connected by the same classical axis. For clients who love the scale and opulence of Haussmann Paris, this is a natural pairing.

BEST COMBO

💕

From the grandeur of the open square to the ornate splendour of the most beautiful bridge in Paris. Two very different expressions of the same Beaux-Arts Paris.

Grand Paris

📸

The Eiffel Tower is visible from the Concorde, but if you want it truly front and centre as your main backdrop, the Trocadéro is where it belongs.
