Absolutely breath taking view of the Eiffel Tower, wonderful fountains, and lots of walking space to walk towards the Eiffel Tower. Great monument and gardens, museums and aquarium, and lots of souvenir/crepes shops and cafes. Metro stop Trocadero takes you right there and is easy to navigate. Trocadero is by far one of the best sights and monuments in Paris! More

As well as being mesmerized by the wonderful light show of the Eiffel Tower, pay Euro 2.50 and let your inner child out with a ride on the carrousel. More

Definitely the best place to take your iconic Eiffel Tower photo. Beautiful city views, nearly as good as the 1er stage of the Eiffel Tower! Great place to sit and relax a bit. More

Greta spot for seeing and photographing the Eiffel Tower - especially at night, when it's floodlit and for the on-the-hour light show. Ignore the tacky souveniers - go to one of the nearby cafes instead and people-watch - Le Malakoff, next to the Metro station is a good spot. More

The best. A view of the Tour Eiffel at night -- complete with lights and sparkles -- and the yummiest ice cream creations complete with chantilly and berries. The night at the Trocadero was our favorite. More
