    1. Palais-Royal<\/b><\/h2>\n

    You can find the Palais-Royal and its gardens, where Taylor is writing in a journal \ud83d\udcd3 on a bench in the music video, right in the heart of Paris. It\u2019s super close to Rue de Rivoli and the Louvre, but it\u2019s easy to miss, so keep your eyes open. \ud83d\udc40<\/span><\/p>\n

    First built in the 17th century, the U-shaped palace features an elegant and classical courtyard bordered by stone columns that hold artwork by Daniel Buren. It\u2019s a remarkable installation of black-and-white striped columns that are arranged in a grid pattern. You can hop and balance on these iconic striped columns, making this an amazing spot for instantly Instagrammable photos\u2026 and music videos! \ud83c\udfa5<\/span><\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t miss the gardens, which hold around 500 trees. Here you can find symmetrical rose beds, two beautifully manicured lawns, trees trimmed to create an arch effect, and a fountain right in the centre of it all. If you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, the Palais-Royal\u2019s gardens provide the perfect sanctuary\u2014just like they did for Taylor. \ud83c\udf39 <\/span>There are also plenty of boutiques and caf\u00e9s around this spot, so be sure to shop, eat some croissants, and wash it all down with an espresso.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    2. Le Grand V\u00e9four Restaurant<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Le Grand V\u00e9four is the iconic Parisian restaurant that\u2019s featured in the music video. It still preserves the original decor from when it was first constructed in 1784. Although it\u2019s not featured prominently in the music video, the artwork in this world-renowned restaurant is not to be missed. \ud83d\ude0d <\/span>Alongside beautiful mirrors, you\u2019ll find glass-protected neoclassical paintings decorating the wall, which are inspired by Pompeian frescoes, and the ceiling is painted in the style of 18th-century Italian ceilings, featuring stucco garlands and roses. \ud83c\udf39\ud83c\udf39<\/span><\/p>\n

    Fun fact, this restaurant was also one of Coco Chanel\u2019s favourite places, but she wasn\u2019t the only famous person to eat here. Napoleon Bonaparte, his wife Jos\u00e9phine de Beauharnais, and iconic French author Victor Hugo were also regular guests in their time. It\u2019s an<\/span> experience of a lifetime\u2014and you\u2019ll always have the photos to remember it by. \ud83d\udcf8<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    3. Rue de Beaujolais<\/b><\/h2>\n

    You\u2019ll recognize the Rue de Beaujolais as the street Taylor walks down in her tr<\/span>\u00e8<\/span>s chic red pants with her European<\/span>\u200c<\/span> dreamboat while holding a bicycle. \ud83d\udeb2 It\u2019s a 128-meter-long street in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, where you\u2019ll also find iconic locations like Le Grand V\u00e9four, which is listed just above. <\/span><\/p>\n

    But that\u2019s not the only reason to visit this Parisian alley. As any true fan knows, these alleys are also referenced in the song \u201cParis\u201d with the line, \u201cIn an alleyway, drinking champagne, \u2019cause we were in Paris.\u201d <\/span>So grab a glass of bubbly when you visit this alleyway because, just like Taylor, you\u2019re in Paris! \ud83e\udd42<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    4. Pont des Arts<\/b><\/h2>\n

    The Pont des Arts is the bridge with the locks Taylor is standing on right at the beginning of the video. Originally constructed between 1802 and 1804 by order of Napoleon Bonaparte, the bridge had to be rebuilt in the 1980s. <\/span>The love locks on the bridge is a tradition that started in 2008. Tourists would attach a lock with their first names written on it to the bridge and throw the key into the Seine River below as a symbol of everlasting love. \u2764\ufe0f While undeniably romantic, the number of locks grew to over a million, which had a combined weight of 45 tonnes. Naturally, this damaged the bridge. As of 2015, the locks have been removed and no one is allowed to attach another one (the video was filmed in 2012). \ud83d\udd12\ud83d\udd11<\/span><\/p>\n

    However, this iconic bridge still makes for an incredibly romantic destination. You\u2019ll find the Eiffel Tower in the distance on the left and the Louvre on the right behind the trees. Talk about a photo op! \u2728<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    5. Square du Vert-Galant<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Just a little further from the Pont des Arts is a gorgeous weeping willow that Taylor sits underneath in the music video. \ud83c\udf33 It\u2019s located in the Square du Vert-Galant, which is a small park at the tip of the <\/span>\u00ce<\/span>le<\/span> de la Cit\u00e9 in the Seine River that provides breathtaking views of the city and its many landmarks, such as the Pont Neuf bridge and the Louvre Museum and Palace. It\u2019s also an amazing spot for a picnic \ud83e\uddfa, so you definitely don\u2019t want to miss it on your Capture Your Paris Era tour.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Plus, for all you mega fans out there, you\u2019ll know that Taylor also has a song called \u201cWillow\u201d in which she says the line, \u201cMy life was a willow and it bent right to your wind.\u201d It doesn\u2019t get more Swift than this. \ud83e\udef6\ud83e\udef6<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    6. Quai de Conti<\/b><\/h2>\n

    The Quai de Conti is a walk along the westward side of the Seine River that Taylor takes in the video. \ud83d\udcf9 She crosses under the Pont Neuf bridge\u2014the oldest standing bridge that crosses the Seine\u2014and admires the statue of Henry IV on horseback and the architecture of <\/span>\u00ce<\/span>le de la Cit\u00e9. <\/span><\/p>\n

    And you can do it too! Your Paris era won\u2019t be complete without a photo of you silhouetted underneath the Pont Neuf, just like Taylor in the video. \ud83d\udcf8<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    7. Bonus \u201cBegin Again\u201d Spots<\/b><\/h2>\n

    While they\u2019re not included in the Capture Your Paris Era photo tour, here are a couple more iconic photo spots to visit if you have time!<\/p>\n

    La Palette: <\/strong>This caf\u00e9 is the most featured location in the \u201cBegin Again\u201d music video, so it\u2019s a must-visit for all fans in Paris. As the song goes, \u201cOn a Wednesday in a caf\u00e9, I watched it begin again.\u201d Who knows? You may discover your own love story over a delicious strawberry tart and a cappuccino, just like Taylor! \ud83c\udf53\u2615\ufe0f As you can see in the video, the caf\u00e9 is beautifully lined with paintings and mirrored walls, so you\u2019ll have plenty of opportunities to check your red lipstick. \ud83d\udc8b\ud83d\udc84 Plus, the caf\u00e9 is open from 8 am to 2 am for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks.

It can be found nestled among the web of streets between the left bank of the Seine and the Boulevard Saint-Germain, in the heart of the 6th arrondissement. <\/span><\/p>\n
