Ciné-Balade

Eiffel Tower movie tour

The Eiffel Tower movie tour, a guided walk around a Parisian icon on the big screen.

From the Trocadéro gardens to Rue de Passy via the Bir-Hakeim Bridge, the 16th arrondissement is a prime filming location. Magnificent backdrops play hide-and-seek with the Eiffel Tower or the Seine, sometimes revealing more about the hill’s past, transformed during the World’s Fair that brought cinema to prominence.
That Man from Rio, Fear Over the City, La La Land, Inception, Mission: Impossible 6, The Last Metro, Eiffel, are must-sees. And as always, lesser-known films shown through clips or photos will make you an expert on the Eiffel Tower and Passy in the movies.
