From the Eiffel Tower at night, through the bridges crossing the Seine, to flirting couples in sidewalk caf\u00e9s – everything in Paris has a touch of romance. And while you\u2019ll certainly fall in love with Paris, a little planning goes a long way to getting the most out of the City of Love. Here\u2019s our suggestion of 11 of the most romantic things to do in Paris:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Romantic things to do in Paris<\/span><\/h2>\n

1. Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay has some of the best Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Art Nouveau works on display. Monet, Manet, Renoir, Gauguin, and van Gogh all have dreamy works on display here. And their compelling paintings are perfect for getting lost in your thoughts, side by side, in this airy railway-station-turned-museum.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is one of Paris\u2019s most popular museum, so the entrance can get crowded. But don\u2019t let the crowds kill your love buzz \u2013 get <\/span>dedicated entrance tickets to the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay<\/span><\/a> to beat the lines!<\/span><\/p>\n

Mus\u00e9e d’Orsay,\u00a01 Rue de la L\u00e9gion\u00a0<\/em>d’Honneur, Paris. Dedicated entrance \u00a0tickets from \u20ac12<\/a>. \u00a0Open Tue – Sun 9:30-18:00 & Thu until 21:45.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

2. Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Orangerie<\/span><\/h3>\n

This spacious museum also contains beautiful Impressionist paintings. Monet, Renoir, Matisse, Picasso, and C\u00e9zanne are just some of the artists you\u2019ll come across! And it\u2019s generally less crowded than the Orsay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Orangerie\u2019s two oval rooms (designed by Monet himself) are dedicated to Monet\u2019s Water Lilies. This stunning painting is definitely the highlight, but it\u2019s far from the only painting worth seeing. <\/span>Visit the Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Orangerie<\/span><\/a> for a private art date. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mus\u00e9e de l’Orangerie, Jardin de Tuileries, Paris. Dedicated entrance tickets<\/a>\u00a0from \u20ac9. Open daily 09:00-18:00.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Le Grand Mus\u00e9e du Parfum<\/span><\/h3>\n

This brand new museum will give you a scent of romance, as you explore the world of perfume \u2013 from the first perfume ever created to how our emotions are affected by different smells. <\/span><\/p>\n

With <\/span>priority tickets for Le Grand Mus\u00e9e du Parfum Paris<\/span><\/a> you\u2019ll feel like a moviestar, entering this posh mansion in the eighth arrondissement as a VIP. It\u2019ll certainly get the perfume lover in your life feeling fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grand Mus\u00e9e du Parfum, 73 Rue du Faubourg Saint Honor\u00e9, Paris. Priority entrance tickets<\/a> from \u20ac14,50. Open Sat – Thu 10:30-19:00 & Fri until 22:00. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Crazy Horse\u2019s new show!<\/span><\/h3>\n

Spice up your romantic city trip with an unforgettable night out. The city\u2019s famous cabaret is both classic and irresistibly sexy. And there\u2019s a new show in town you can\u2019t miss. <\/span><\/p>\n

The spectacular show of <\/span>Crazy Horse Paris – <\/span>Dessous-Dessus!<\/span><\/i><\/a> (which means upside-down) is sexy, daring, and captivating. Everything is turned around to create an evening that is unmistakably Parisian, yet audaciously new.<\/span><\/p>\n

Le Crazy Horse de Paris, 12 Avenue George V, Paris. Tickets<\/a> from \u20ac105 (sell out fast). Show starts Sun – Fri 20.15 & 22.45, Sat 19:00, 21:30 & 23:45.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

5. Wine tasting in the king\u2019s wine cellar<\/span><\/h3>\n

The longer you spend in Paris, the more you\u2019ll enjoy it. Like a bottle of perfectly aged wine. Speaking of wine, you can\u2019t spend a romantic escape in this city without enjoying some of its favorite drink. And there\u2019s nowhere better to drink the good stuff than in King Louis XV\u2019s wine cellar! <\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> French Wine Tasting and Oenology Museum<\/span><\/a> gives you the opportunity to learn (in an unpretentious way) about the elixir of love that the French make so well. Smell, listen, touch, and taste – this interactive journey into wine is a sensational experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Les Caves du Louvre,\u00a052 Rue de l’Arbre Sec, Paris. Tickets<\/a>\u00a0from \u20ac11. Open daily\u00a0from 10:00-18:00, Sunday: 13:00-18:00.<\/em><\/p>\n

6. Palace of Versailles<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Palace of Versailles is the most sumptuous residence you\u2019ll ever visit. The neighboring Versailles is close enough to Paris to visit on a sidetrip. And being outside the city, the atmosphere is entirely different \u2013 we\u2019d describe it as \u2018romantic\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

With <\/span>all-access tickets for the Palace of Versailles<\/span><\/a> the two of you can explore the main palace with over 700 rooms, plus the more intimate \u2018Queen\u2019s Hamlet\u2019 of Marie Antoinette – including her private village of rustic buildings. And for the complete package, take your sweetheart for a stroll through the famous gardens, or hire a rowboat and glide around the little lake.<\/span><\/p>\n

Palace of Versailles, Place d’Armes, Versailles. All-access tickets + audioguide<\/a> from \u20ac20. For opening hours see our Versailles page<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Careful – the gardens are so romantic you might spontaneously propose<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

7. Rustique Montmartre <\/span><\/h3>\n

The picturesque village that was once home to the likes of Dal\u00ed, Monet, Picasso and van Gogh still has an artsy feel. And the painters and musicians showing off their trades on the streets certainly add to that feeling. A stroll through the streets here will have you feel like you\u2019re in a painting come to life. <\/span><\/p>\n

End your meandering through Montmartre\u2019s winding alleys at the Basilique du Sacr\u00e9-Coeur for a stunning view of Paris. With a name that means Basilica of the Sacred Heart, it\u2019s no surprise that real romantics flock to this area (that\u2019s also why we suggest you avoid Montmartre during the weekend. Chances are you won\u2019t be the only one planning to take your lover for a stroll!).<\/span><\/p>\n

Basilique du Sacre-Coeur, 35 Rue du Chevalier de la Barre, Paris. We recommend you visit Montmartre during weekdays.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

8. Medieval Marais<\/span><\/h3>\n

Le Marais missed out when Paris\u2019 was modernized with broad avenues and giant squares \u2013 \u00a0and we\u2019re grateful for that. This quaint aristocratic neighborhood is full of pre-revolutionary buildings and narrow cobblestone lanes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Because of its winding streets, Le Marais has a village atmosphere \u2013 but an <\/span>tr\u00e9s chic<\/span><\/i> kind of village. Filled with caf\u00e9s, restaurants and boutiques, this quarter is perfect for a day of sidewalk romance. And a quiet kiss on a bench in Place des Vosges.<\/span><\/p>\n

See map for Place des Vosges, Le Marais, Paris.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Place des Vosges is the oldest (and probably most beautiful) square in Paris<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

9. Along the Seine<\/span><\/h3>\n

A stroll along the banks of the Seine is essential to a Parisian romance. The locals love spending their free time along the river in summer \u2013 whether for a casual stroll, a picnic with friends, or a candlelit dinner for two.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make like the local lovebirds and follow the Seine until your feet need a rest. On either of the two islands in the Seine \u2013 \u00cele de la Cit\u00e9 and \u00cele St-Louis \u2013 you\u2019ll find plenty of romantic caf\u00e9s for a break. And if you\u2019re planning a picnic along the water, don\u2019t forget to pick up some cheese and wine along the way!<\/span><\/p>\n

See map for \u00cele de la Cit\u00e9 and \u00cele St-Louis, Paris.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

10. Gourmet dinner cruise<\/span><\/h3>\n

If a stroll along the Seine sounds romantic, just imagine an extravagant gourmet dinner cruise on the Seine. And then get ready to <\/span>make it your reality<\/span><\/a>. \u00a0Think four-course meal, champagne, and premium wines.<\/span><\/p>\n

And not only dinner is extravagant; the view is unreal. The City of Lights shines brightest at night \u2013 and when seen from the canal? <\/span>Ooh la la<\/span><\/i>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Bateaux Parisiens, Port de la Bourdonnais, Paris. Tickets for gourmet dinner cruise on the Seine<\/a>\u00a0from \u20ac99. Boarding 20:00-20:15, departure 20:30.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

11. A walk in the park<\/span><\/h3>\n

The scenery makes strolls in the French capital so romantic. And the scenery doesn\u2019t get much better than in a beautiful Parisian park. We\u2019ve got three particularly charming options, for when you need to be your most charming..<\/span><\/p>\n

The courtyard of the Palais Royal is especially made for, yes \u2013 courting. And Parc Monceau is charming and serene, with ancient pillars and old walking bridges. Finally, Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is simply magical \u2013 with waterfalls, temples, and cliffs. You\u2019ll find the least tourists here, but it\u2019s also the farthest from the centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

See map for locations and opening times of the mentioned parks.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
