Lena Von Schōnlaub used the Eiffel Tower Stadium as a backdrop for her personal photo shoot, shifting her head from side to side and smiling as she clicked away. The iconic Eiffel Tower, overlooking the 2024 Paris Olympics beach volleyball site, has become one of the most popular attractions, drawing hundreds for the perfect social media posts.

"I think it's the most beautiful location you can have," said Von Schōnlaub, who traveled from Munich, Germany. The site, coupled with sand and upbeat DJ music, has the party feel associated with beach volleyball. Despite iconic venues like Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, many say Eiffel Tower Stadium is unparalleled.

Built specifically for the Olympics at Champ de Mars, the 13,000-seat stadium has typically been a garden for picnics and fireworks displays. Now, it's a hotspot for both ticket-holding spectators and photo enthusiasts aiming for the perfect selfies with the Eiffel Tower in the backdrop. American gymnast Olivia Dunne, with 8 million TikTok followers, posted from the venue, and the hashtag gained massive traction online.
