Famous Television Locations in Paris

Yes, we all know the Eiffel Tower, and yes, it is worth seeing in all its glory. Originally built for the 1889 World’s Fair by Gustave Eiffel, it’s one of the most visited landmarks in the world. Not only is it a sight to see (and a great way to see the sights), it’s made its mark on television.

In Netflix’s underrated Sense 8, the Eiffel Tower is featured in a four-minute firework spectacle. Naturally, The Amazing Race has also visited the Eiffel Tower. But while the tower has been seen in many films, it is challenging (and expensive) to film there so it’s not as common in television.
