Handy hints
Photo opportunity!
The Place du Trocadéro is an ideal place to take photos; from the terrace there is an amazing view over the Champs de Mars, the Eiffel Tower and the Invalides. It also has beautiful gardens – perfect for a pleasant stroll.
A curiosity
When it was built in 1878, the Trocadero Aquarium, facing the Eiffel Tower, was one of the largest in Europe. Seahorses, sharks, giant rays… there are over 500 species for you to wonder at.
