You could use an orthographic with a custom centering:

GeoGraphics[
 Entity["Building", "EiffelTower::5h9w8"], 
 GeoProjection -> "Orthographic", "Centering" -> GeoPosition[-30.858`, 2.295`], 
 GeoZoomLevel -> 18, 
 GeoRange -> 48.852`, 48.872`, 2.2895`, 2.2995`
]

Note that this does incorporate the curvature of the earth and will be noticeable over larger areas.

If you're after something flat, you could always inset the tiles in 3D and pick custom View* values. Note I pad the range to allow the map to be seen at an angle:

im = GeoImage[
 Entity["Building", "EiffelTower::5h9w8"], 
 "StreetMapNoLabels", 
 GeoZoomLevel -> 17, 
 GeoRange -> 48.852`, 48.872`, 2.285`, 2.305`
];

x, y = ImageDimensions[im];

Graphics3D[
 Texture[im], EdgeForm[], Polygon[0, 0, 0, x, 0, 0, x, y, 0, 0, y, 0, 
 VertexTextureCoordinates -> 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1], 
 Background -> Black,
 Boxed -> False, 
 Lighting -> "Neutral", 
 ViewAngle -> 0.03233723833101999`, 
 ViewCenter -> 0.5`, 0.5`, 0.5`, 1.4456583184354543`, 0.7806170277104297`, 
 ViewPoint -> 1.076788325190908`, -3.1635309749673284`, 0.5316001064285271`, 
 ViewVertical -> 0.00011882147473772082`, -0.00015290540260965785`, 0.9999999812506973`
