There is no better time for your Montmartre photoshoot than sunrise or early morning. This area is very small and dense and at the same time very famous and popular among visitors and locals alike. So Montmartre gets busy starting from late morning.

Afternoon & Evening: NO
As your local photographers in Paris we don’t recommend to shoot in Montmartre later than noon, especially during peak travel season. It just will be too crowded for your Montmartre photoshoot.

Spring, summer, autumn, winter: YES
All seasons work equally well for your photo session in Montmartre. We especially love spring, when trees and flowers are blooming, as well as fall, when we can experience autumn foliage.

Which other photo shoot locations are nearby?

None. Montmartre area is a little remote and there are no other Paris photoshoot locations in the proximity of a short walk by foot or a short ride. So if you are planning a Montmartre photoshoot you should either fully focus on this area, or book a longer photo session. During a longer photoshoot we can include a longer ride in a cab, taxi, uber or private transportation and reach other areas that you could love for your photo session.

This way you can combine pretty much all other Paris photoshoot locations such as Trocadero and Eiffel Tower area, Louvre and Alexander III bridge area as well as Paris gardens and Notre Dame area with your photo shoot in Montmartre. You just need to plan more time for your photo session and include a longer ride in between locations.
