Arrive 10 minutes early

Trocadéro’s terraces and the Seine quays are paved and sometimes slippery—stable footwear keeps poses relaxed.
Comfortable walking shoes
Stable footwear helps with quick changes of position on paved terraces and bridge spans.
Portable phone charger

Light windbreaker or layers
Morning or evening winds off the Seine can be chilly; layers keep you comfortable between shots.
