Our favorite cathedral in Paris. It´s located in Montmartre. It´s huge and beautiful inside and outside. The views from Sacre Coeur to the city are so amazing too. It´s so nice at sunset time with people playing and singing. It´s a great place to relax after a long day sightseeing in Paris.

8. Sinking House

Have you ever seen viral pictures in Instagram? We tried our viral picture too like the Pisa tower in Italy. For people who asked us where to take the picture in our instagram. The place is located on the right side of Sacre coeur, and for taking pictures, you have to go into the garden. From there, you will see the apartments in front. If you go down to the grass, you will find the spot to take the picture.

How to get to the Sinking House? This is the hardest to find among our list of the most instagrammable places in Paris. To get here, just read the information above how to get to Sacre Coeur, by walking or by funicular. Once you are in the main gate, go downstairs. And on the left side you will see the houses go until the bottom of the garden. Once you are there, if you look at the buildings, it will make the illusion of a sinking house. It´s not really sinking, though! Haha!

9. Rooftops in Paris

We looked for the best rooftops in Paris to take pictures, from hotels to malls. We visited a few places and our favorite one was in Hotel California where we had really amazing views of the Eiffel tower. We really liked the rooftop Printempts Haussmann in Galeries Lafayette and the best thing you can enjoy this views for free. The entrance is in the mall and you have to go to the elevator to the restaurant and there is a place where you can enjoy the views for yourself as much as you want to stay there!

How to get to rooftops in Paris? There are shopping malls, maybe your Airbnb place, or your hotel. Just ask the staff nicely if they have a rooftop  with beautiful views to the Eiffel Tower. Try to be creative because it’s your chance! It seems like Pisa Tower in Italy. Rooftops are a great place to have fun while taking pictures.

10. Room with a view

Hands up for those rooms with a view to the Eiffel tower in Paris! How beautiful it is just enjoying a sunset from your room after having a little nap, or eating the popular macaroons while enjoying the view? Our favorite place was Hyatt Madeleine where we took these amazing shots.

After our top 10 favorite Instagrammable places in Paris, we also took a few nice pictures that Instagram-worthy. Check them out below:

Moulin Rouge

The popular classic musical Moulin Rouge is a must-see in Paris. It´s just a few minutes walking distance from Montmartre. Around the area, there is a red light district where you can see many shops around.

Balcony Views

Something Rachel felt in love in France and Paris was balcony views. They were so beautiful watching from the top. She loved seeing how busy the city is and the architecture of the capital of France.

Street Art in Paris

Street art in Paris is just amazing. Aside from the coffee shops that we mentioned above in Montmartre, you can find people painting, singing, dancing around Montmartre area and it was our favorite place to walk around in Paris.

Eiffel Tower at night

As we liked Eiffel Tower so much, we went there at night as well to take more pictures. We went just opposite from Trocadero Square to have these views. There is a light show every hour starting at 7 pm and it´s so magical. Take note that it can be cold so be ready for the temperature going down so much at night if you visit in Autumn and winter.

Pastries with French Macaroons

You will find them everywhere just walking around Paris. It´s a must to try in Paris and it´s so colorful, looking so beautiful in pictures. There are French macaroons to try for €1-2. And also you can buy them for souvenir and pasalubong when you get back home.
