Champ de Mars
Best time to visit
Early morning offers soft light and far fewer crowds, ideal for photos. Evenings at sunset are great for watching the Eiffel Tower light up and for picnic atmospheres.
Budget tips
Park access is free, Eiffel Tower climbs require separate paid tickets that should be booked in advance; Paris Museum Pass does not cover tower admission, so pack a picnic to save on food.

About
Brze činjenice: A broad, grassy rectangle stretches roughly 780 meters end to end, lined with chestnut trees and wide promenades that beg for long, lazy walks. Crowds gather for open-air concerts, kite festivals, and lunchtime chess matches, while picnickers stake out sunny spots beneath the trees.
Istaknuto: Families and students spread blankets and tuck into baguettes and camembert as an iron lattice nearby begins a five-minute sparkle at the top of every hour after dusk. Locals point out that the glitter comes from 20,000 flashing bulbs, a detail that turns ordinary picnics into a glittering confetti of light and conversation.
Insider tips
- Arrive before 9:00 AM to secure a spot on the grass and avoid tour group crowds.
- For classic full-length Eiffel photos, position yourself near the École Militaire end of the lawn and use a wide-angle lens.
- Carry a blanket and water, public toilets are limited and vendor prices can be high.
- Keep valuables secure and stay alert in busy areas, especially near the tower and metro exits.
