Imagine strolling through Paris’s most iconic spots—the Eiffel Tower, the Seine banks, or even some hidden corners—while a professional photographer captures your best angles. For $339 per group (up to 6 people), you get a two-hour personalized photo session led by a talented guide, Coline Cauquil, in the heart of France’s capital. It’s an experience that promises not just photos, but a collection of beautiful, professionally retouched images you’ll cherish forever.
What we love most about this experience is how it blends authentic Parisian scenery with the personalized touch of a dedicated photographer. First, it’s flexible: your guide will customize the locations based on your preferences, whether you want classic sights or some lesser-known treasures. Second, the photos are delivered in a private online gallery, giving you easy access and sharing options after your trip.

The Experience and Its Setting
Starting with the location, the meeting point is carefully selected for its beauty and natural light—specifically, the steps of the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine. This spot is a fantastic choice because it offers a striking backdrop and easy access to the heart of Paris’s historic and modern architecture.
Your guide, Coline Cauquil, is not just a photographer but someone with a deep knowledge of the region’s best spots. She’s praised for her friendly demeanor and her knack for making you feel at ease, which is crucial for natural-looking photos. We loved how she takes the time to understand your style and wishes before setting off.
The Itinerary and Locations
The beauty of this experience lies in its customization. Depending on your preferences, you’ll explore areas like the Eiffel Tower, the Seine banks, the Pont Alexandre III, or the Louvre. There’s also the possibility of visiting some more secret or less crowded spots, which can make your photos stand out and avoid the typical tourist shots.
For two hours, you’ll walk, pose, and sometimes just stand in awe, letting the scenery do the work. The guide will help you with poise and natural poses, emphasizing that you don’t need to be a model to look great. From the feedback we’ve seen, many clients appreciated her ability to put even the most camera-shy at ease.

Practical Considerations and Tips
Since the session involves walking and standing in various locations, wearing comfortable shoes is recommended. Also, it’s best to arrive on time at the meeting point—Coline’s schedule tends to be tight, and delays could cut into your session. You might also want to wear the outfit you plan to be photographed in—this helps you look your best and feel confident.
The experience is wheelchair accessible, which is an important detail for travelers with mobility needs. But keep in mind, some locations might involve walking on uneven surfaces.
Is It Worth the Price?
At $339 for up to six people, this experience offers excellent value for personalized, high-quality photos in a city as photogenic as Paris.

Plus, the convenience of having a dedicated photographer and customized locations makes it a worthwhile investment.

This tour suits couples, small families, or friends traveling together who want a bespoke photo collection of their trip.
