Also, you can get a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower from a lot of different places, such as Trocadéro and Champs de Mars, which make for stunning photos.
The view from Champ de Mars looks even better when you visit Paris in Spring. This is because then there are beautiful pink blossoms.
Furthermore, you should really go to the top of the structure! You can choose to go by either the elevator or the stairs. The view of the city from here is definitely worth your time!

The Arc de Triomphe is another very famous sight of Paris and a beautiful photo spot in Paris. Furthermore, the monument is located next to the Champs-Élysées and looks impressive from below.
