Tuesday Take on the Tower: From Port Debilly – classic view of the Iron Lady

Looking across the river from Port Debilly (16e), one of the most photographed classic angles in the city.

The Tower stands tall and central in the frame, with its full lattice structure visible against the pale sky. The bridge's stone arches and quay wall anchor the foreground, while leafless trees on the riverbank add a simple winter outline.

This spot is easy to reach, a short walk from Trocadéro and remains a reliable place to see the Tower without crowds, especially in winter.

A reminder: the best takes on the Tower are often the straightforward ones, from a bridge, across the water, with nothing fancy in between.

Bon mardi ! 🇫🇷🗼

“You don’t look for the Tower — you simply notice when she finds you.”
