Paris is said to be the most romantic city in the world, however, here are a few ideas for making Paris even more unbearably romantic than it already is.

Some of them are free, other ... well it all depends!

River Seine

Probably the most romantic walks in Paris. Western tip of the Ile-de-la-Cité all day long, Western tip of the Ile-St-Louis by night and Pont des Arts at sunset, are probably the best places for couples to experience a true romance.

The Pont des Arts

This wooden pedestrian bridge that leads you to the Louvre museum, has one of the most amazing views of Paris. A little wine, a little baguette and cheese, the sun setting on the Seine…romance in Paris doesn’t have to cost a fortune.

Go up!

Everyone knows about the Eiffel Tower, but there are  many other free places where you’ll get a stunning view of Paris. Visit the Montmartre hill in front of the Sacre Coeur Cathedral  or the terraces of two  department stores Printemps and Gallerie Lafayette.

Parisian parks and gardens

Paris is filled with beautiful gardens, and all make an unbelievably romantic setting. Luxembourg Gardens, in particular, is a great spot for couples, and is adjacent to the breathtaking Luxembourg Castle. The Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, Park Montsouris and Park Monceau are the perfect romantic settings where you can have a picnic or just relax in each others arms.

Chateau de Versailles garden

A short train ride away from Paris will take you to the luxurious Chateau de Versailles, the elaborate palace of the notorious Sun King. The gardens are not as expensive as the castle and you can have a picnic here and have a great time.

TIP: Be sure to take a bottle of wine and a snack of baguettes and cheese to nibble in its famous gardens.

In the evening, Paris is at its best

The magic continue throughout the night. Spend the night in the famous restaurant or a typical French cafe, take the boat along the river, watch the French cabaret, or listen to some of the best jazz.  Or maybe take another romantic walk along the river.
