Jardins du Trocadéro

Jardins du Trocadéro is a Paris park on Place du Trocadéro across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower, facing it directly. From its raised position, the park frames the Eiffel Tower across the plaza, and in the evening it offers views of the illuminated tower and its light show, which flashes for five minutes at the start of every hour. You can walk here from the Eiffel Tower by crossing the bridge, and vendors selling Eiffel Tower keychains stand nearby. The crowds are heavy, so taking a photo without people in it is difficult.
