Move over, Eiffel Tower! Turns out, there's a new spot for that obligatory Parisian photo op—and you won't even need to leave your hotel for it.
We're talking about that quintessentially Parisian balcony—or, as the French like to call it, balconette or Juliet balcony (coined after the scene from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet). Unlike regular balconies, which are raised platforms extending from an apartment or hotel room, a French balcony is essentially a long window or glass door that can be easily opened to let in fresh air and sunlight.
Imagine the play of natural light against your carefully curated OOTD or woke-up-like-this selfie, with the iconic Parisian architecture framing your shot. The result? A double tap-worthy photograph with the City of Lights as your stunning backdrop.
