ROMANTIC PARIS
Ah, Paris and Romance…the two go hand in hand like, well, those in love. And the only way to enjoy Paris as a couple is to be “flaneurs” or saunterers. It’s not about rushing around ticking off the sights.
The City of Light makes a perfect backdrop for couples: from its tree-lined boulevards and parks to the quays and bridges of the Seine. Forget the tourist-clogged Champs-Élysées and Eiffel Tower and stroll arm in arm with your beloved admiring the city’s voluptuous sculptures and luminescent light.
Why not indulge in a sublime pastry then choose an art exhibition or a performance at the Opera Garnier or buy your sweetheart a bouquet of blushing roses? You won’t find more exquisite blooms than those in Paris’ tucked-away flower shops. Luxuriate on a café terrace clinking glasses of the palest pink rosé. Eschew a cab, and take out a free Velib bicycle to peddle slowly along a boulevard bike path under the dappled light of plane trees. resonate as in the grandest concert hall. Whisper sweet nothings to each other over an exquisite meal in the city that invented both fine dining and informal bistros and return to your hotel, perhaps a bijoux boutique or a grand palais, for a night of romance.
