What if a live event obstructs the Eiffel Tower on the day of my shoot?
Almost no week goes by in Paris without some sort of special event: marathon, Paris Fashion Week, July 14 festivities, a techno parade, women’s health, strike, elections, sports events, dignitaries … you name it. And since the Iron Lady just says Paris more so than any other monument in the city, many events occur somewhere near the Eiffel Tower. We have seen cranes in front of the Eiffel Tower, a soccer ball hanging in an arch of the tower, a barricade erected around the tower, streets blocked off … you get the point. Hey, we’ve even seen the Iron Lady remain dark at night in protest of theft. The Louvre Museum also occasionally closes off to the public—most frequently on Tuesday or Sunday evenings. Its courtyard is typically obstructed twice a year for Paris Fashion Week.  Your expectation should be that your preferred location will photograph well and as you see it in our galleries. You should, however, also expect the unexpected since Paris is a vibrant city in the heart of Europe … and events are part of our everyday life. We do not offer a refund or change our editing process if your preferred location happens to be obstructed or otherwise visually less appealing. But we will work with you to reschedule your shoot if you let us know in advance.
