Where to see the most beautiful sunset in Paris?
Every evening, it's the same spectacle (or almost): the sunset of Mr. Sun. When someone as flamboyant as him sets, he does it beautifully! So, to say goodbye to him in the best conditions, we have made our small selection of the best places to watch the sunset in Paris. P.S.: don't forget to applaud, he will return the favor.
With a view of the Eiffel Tower: the esplanade of Trocadéro
Although it is already popular with everyone, we couldn't resolve not to include the esplanade of Trocadéro in our top. With its direct view of the Champ-de-Mars and the Eiffel Tower up close, it becomes even more beautiful at dusk. It is the perfect place if you want a nice photo of Paris under a sunset.

By the water: Square du Vert-Galant
At the very end of Square Vert-Galant, at the tip of the Île de la Cité, you will find a little haven of unique peace. Here, you can observe the iridescent reflections of the fiery sun on the shimmering water, in one of the most romantic settings. Almost touching the water with your feet, enjoying the unobstructed view, you are now ready for a tête-à-tête date with the sun. But wait... it's going away. Don't panic, it will be back in a few hours!

From the metro: line 6
Although taking the metro is rarely a pleasant experience, there are places where you can still enjoy the view. Take line 6 towards Étoile, sit on the window side, on the right in the direction of travel. And most importantly, remember to look up after the Bir-Hakeim station. You will discover a magnificent view of the Eiffel Tower with the sunset as a backdrop, as you pass over the Seine.

With a view of the Grand Palais: the Alexandre III Bridge
At the intersection between the Esplanade des Invalides and the Grand Palais, the Alexandre III Bridge is one of the best spots to see a sunset in Paris. Surrounded by the most historic monuments of the capital, we appreciate the architectural beauty of the place while saying goodbye to the sun.

Sitting in the grass: the Buttes-Chaumont Park
Who can resist the charm of the Buttes-Chaumont Park? A lovely day with a bottle of wine, good friends, laughter, and the sun setting behind the horizon, promising a fun night ahead. Our suggestion: climb the hill in the middle of the park, find a cozy spot on the grass near the music stand, and simply enjoy the moment.

Like lovers: on top of Montmartre hill
What could be more mythical than Montmartre to go see a sunset? At the top of the steps, just steps away from the forecourt of the Sacré-Cœur, we sit on a bench in Square Nadar to observe the twilight with an unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower. The most motivated ones will bring dinner with them for a romantic picnic under the evening rays. You're welcome.
