Eiffel Tower Reflection in Grand Palais Éphémère

The Eiffel Tower reflected in the windows of the Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris. The sky is clear and sun has set creating a yellow glow on the horizon. People are seen in the foreground watching the tower.

So many people gathered to watch the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but if they looked behind them, they’d see this magnificent reflection of the Tower.

The Grand Palais Éphémère was empty and dark when I was there, so it reflected perfectly the Eiffel Tower in its windows.

I have to admit, the last time I was in Paris, some 23 years ago, I don’t remember the Grand Palais Éphémère being there at all, but back then I didn’t have the equipment or skill to take a photo like this anyway, and never thought to visit the Eiffel Tower in the evening! It wasn’t in the guide book!

I just looked up the Grand Palais Éphémère and it seems to be a temporary exhibition building. It was constructed in 2021 and will be torn down again in 2024, so your chance to get a photo like this is limited!

Great shot! To get a different angle on such an iconic view is excellent
