🇫🇷📸 5 French Photo Spots That Are More Beautiful Than Landmarks
France isn't just Paris and the Eiffel Tower 🇫🇷✨
If you venture outside the city, you'll find charming villages, cobblestone streets, old houses, lakes, and picturesque countryside views that look like scenes from a movie 🎞️
🏘️ 01 — Gordes, Provence
A light-colored stone village built up the hillsides in the Provence region.
Try finding a spot outside the village or a viewpoint and capturing the entire village lined up on the hillside for a classic Provence-inspired shot 🌿
May–October is a great time to visit, and late spring–early summer offers beautiful lavender fields nearby for your photos 💜
💧 02 — Annecy
A lakeside town with crystal-clear blue water, old houses, and the Alps
Instead of just photographing the canals in the old town, try going to Lake Annecy and using the mountains and water as a backdrop. The pictures will look more airy and three-dimensional 🏔️
🌊 03 — Èze, Côte d’Azur
An old village on a hill overlooking the French Riviera.
An interesting viewpoint is walking up the cobblestone alley above and looking back at the Mediterranean Sea from a high angle 🌊
Especially during the evening light, the warm-colored stone houses contrast beautifully with the blue sea.
🌷 04 — Colmar, Alsace
An old town full of pastel-colored houses, wooden buildings, and small canals.
Try walking away from the popular photo spots and focusing on the details of the wooden houses + flower-covered windows + canals instead of just taking wide shots.
The atmosphere is like walking through a French postcard 🤍
🌿 05 — Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Occitanie
A medieval village perched on a cliff overlooking the Lot River.
This place is more suitable for those who prefer peaceful French scenery rather than big tourist cities.
Try taking photos from the viewpoint outside. You'll see the entire village perched on the hill, along with the surrounding landscape, all in one frame 📸
✨ Trick to making French photos look like film:
Don't try to fit everything into one image.
Choose just one element: an old house, a cobblestone street, and some natural elements. Leave some empty space. The image will look cleaner and have a more European film feel 🎞️
France without the Eiffel Tower…
Sometimes, it reveals the charm of this country even more clearly 🤍🇫🇷
