Why Paris demands its own guide

Paris is photogenic, layered, and densely packed — but the strongest frames hide one street over from the postcard angles, at the right hour, with the right settings. This guide tells you exactly where to stand, when to be there, and what to dial in. No filler, no cliches, no "show up and figure it out."
