The capital of France is one of the most romantic cities in the world and offers many great opportunities for photographers. Especially sunsets or sunrises reflect the mood of this city in a very appropriate way. Great themes are for example the Seine, narrow streets with the beautiful architecture of the city and a lot of really nice parks. The Eiffel Tower and Tour Montparnasse offer panoramic views over the city.
Although the summer is a very touristic season in Paris, it's a great time to visit this city because the sunrise is very early and that's usually a good timing to photograph when the "standard tourist" is still sleeping. Otherwise you should look for seasons that are less touristic, because this city is definitely one of the most popular travel destinations in Europe.

The best way to get into the center of the city is probably by Metro. Leave your car outside Paris or if possible travel to this metropole by train or plane. Huge cities like this one are always crowded, so don't make the mistake and try to get to known places by car. Please also be aware of frauds at the Metro stations and never let you help to buy any tickets. If you are not sure which ticket to buy always ask people at the Metro desks, even if this may take a while.
