Bir-Hakeim

"From Canal Saint Martin, take metro line 8 from République to La Motte - Picquet Grenelle (11 stops) then switch to metro line 6 and take in the direction of Charles de Gaulle-Etoile Metro Line 6: The stretch between Bir Hakeim and Passy offers the best views of all as the metro takes you across the river Seine. The line’s three most can’t-miss stops come at the very beginning, with Charles de Gaulle Etoile for the Arc de Triomphe; Trocadéro for, well, the Trocadéro with its amazing views of the Eiffel Tower as well as the underrated Musée de l’Homme; and then Bir-Hakeim to actually visit the Eiffel Tower. For the best views of the Eiffel Tower from Metro Line 6: sit on the right side of the train, then face the rear, if you’re heading towards Charles de Gaulle Etoile; sit on the left side of the train, facing the front if you’re heading towards Nation."

"Unique view point from the metro between Bir-Hakeim and Passy, but also from the Bir-Hakeim bridge."
