Plan your session
Saint-Germain-des-Prés is the Paris of terrace cafés, art galleries and old bookshops. A coffee at a classic café makes a natural, timeless scene for couples and portraits.
Small streets like Rue de Furstenberg, with its quiet square and lamp, and the nearby Seine quays add variety without long walks.
