TOP 10 most romantic places in Paris!

Robert Doisneau's unforgettable portrait of a couple in love enjoying a leisurely embrace in the center of Paris is called "Le Baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville". Many couples imitated, embodying a similar picture, in front of the same lampposts. We've highlighted the top 10 most iconic locations to capture the perfect romantic shot and commemorate the moment spent in the city of love.

1. Le Pont de l'Alma
If you're standing halfway across the bridge with your back to the Eiffel Tower as it glitters (an hour after sunset), then this is the perfect place to snap an unabashedly sentimental "selfie"! This bridge was built by Napoleon III in the 1850s, take a look at the statue called "Zouave" which marks the water level and reached an all-time high during the 1910 flood. The golden statue of Liberty, which is on the right bank, commemorates the tragic death of the romantic Princess Diana.

Visit Chez Francis (open every day of the week until 11:30 p.m.) and toast with a jubilant glass of champagne while waiting for the twinkling of the tower at the next hour of the evening: the terrace is a great vantage point.

2. Le Pont Alexandre III
Cherubim, nymphs and winged horses, Art Nouveau lamps and breathtaking Beaux-Arts style, it's no wonder so many photographers choose to photograph this place. It's also where Owen Wilson finally got his baby girl in Midnight in Paris, and it's the bridge where Adele chose to portray her heart-rending (best-selling) song "Someone Like You".

Take your photo here, in front of a gorgeous backdrop or with the imposing glass dome of the "Grand Palais" behind you - then continue to create a great time enjoying a cocktail or a delicious dinner at the stunning high-ceiling "Mini Palais" restaurant, contemporary Frechon menu and fabulous terraces.

3. Le Pont de Sully
There is no need to look further if you want to know where is the best place - view of Notre Dame. It's worth it to persevere further towards the end of Ile Saint-Louis and see the cathedral from its surroundings, and you will create absolutely breathtaking photographs of this masterpiece of Gothic architecture.

Walk along the Rue Saint-Louis-en-Isles, turning either onto Berthillon or La Maison Du Chou (5, Rue Jean du Bellay), whose streets will melt your heart.

4 Place Dauphine
Raising the heartbeat of Notre Dame and mind-blowing stained-glass windows at Sainte-Chapelle offer what is arguably the most picturesque in the whole city. Tucked away in close proximity to Pont Neuf, refreshingly uncrowded and glorious at any time of the year, Place Dauphine is not a great photo spot, no matter what angle you choose. Follow in the hallowed footsteps of famed French actor Yves Montand (decided to live with his illegitimate wife Simone Signoret in the 1950s) who fell in love with a romantic spot overlooking the Seine around the corner, then stroll down the Pont Neuf to the Odéon for a time at a chic literary café Les Editeurs, for a taste of French cinematic glamour.

5. Parc Monceau
It would be tempting to turn your attention to well-known gardens such as "Champ-de-Mars" and "Jardins de Luxembourg", especially if your time is limited. But if the romance in the head and the air turns your head to the 8th arrondissement of Paris and opens the small but well-formed "Park Monceau", then you will even be initially fascinated as you pass under the breathtaking gilded gates.

This romantic park style, complete with a scaled-down lake and Roman-style colonnade, even boasts a miniature Venetian-style bridge: if that isn't your travel destination, we know what to offer! Finish your walk with a visit to the grandiose Jacquemart-André Museum and learn about the love story of its former owners.

6. Parc de Vincennes
It takes a bit of effort to get here from the very center of Paris, but it's definitely worth a visit. Built in 1860, named as the "Temple of Love", where many wedding proposals are told, and where guests from near and far Prija come to take photographs as evidence of their strong relationship. For the more adventurous, you can go there by metro line 8, then walk to Daumenil. But in order to take the best photo, you need to stand in front of the island "Île de Reuilly". You can rent a boat and sail up to the island - and don't forget to go down and visit the grotto below the temple.

7. Le Chalet des Îles
It's hard to believe it's only a ten minute drive from the Arc de Triomphe when you stroll through the Bois de Boulogne and walk this ultra-romantic haven of tranquility. Empress Eugenia, who was the wife of Napoleon III, who owned this park, has always been and will be a fabulous place for lunch and dinner. Possibly the most attractive part of the city!

8. Le Grand Véfour
It doesn't matter if you're lucky, have already dined here, or enjoyed a romantic lunch elsewhere in Paris, it's impossible to miss the historic surroundings and the vast perfection of the space, paired with delicious food. For over 200 years, this restaurant has been at the Palais Royal and stepping inside for the first time is an unforgettable experience and something you should experience at least once in your life.

9. L'Hôtel, rue des Beaux Arts
Oscar Wilde said that "The very essence of romance is uncertainty." Overflowing with romantic surroundings and natural views on the terrace, "adresse de rêve", next to the Odeon, where the writer Oscar Wilde spent his last evenings. Take a walk and admire the circular staircase on your way to the restaurant, and look around the tiny courtyard with a fountain before you start looking at the menu and enjoying the cuisine.

Much has been written about Paris. Or is it still regrettably little when it comes to non-trivial romantic places in the capital of France? About restaurants, hotels and cinemas, after visiting which you will be convinced that this is the best city for lovers, and no one else can shake your confidence?

Personally, I think that the topic romantique in Paris completely undisclosed. Moreover, many people naively believe that the main thing is to fly to the capital of France, and then you can’t hide from the mood of love - you can’t hide: the Eiffel Tower, the Champs Elysees and the North Dame will help you.

At the same time, the majority completely forgets that Paris, firstly, is a metropolis, and, secondly, the city has a great many so-called "obligatory sights". If you concentrate on a careful examination of everyone at a time, there will simply be no time and energy for healthy hedonism and desperate romance.

And this is extremely unfortunate, because the capital of France is the true quintessence of l’art de vivre, the very “art of living”, which embodies the Parisian style. Today I will share with you 7 ideas for a romantic weekend for two in Paris. No banal advice, only secret, but proven places and non-trivial leisure options. Well, as for the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris or the artists in Montmartre, I'm sure you know everything very well without me.

1. LIVE IN A 19TH CENTURY ARISTOCRATIC HOUSE

Of all the hotels in Paris, the title of "romantic secret palace" deserves, of course, La Reserve Hotel and Spa. By the way, it is located next to the most famous palace in Paris - the Champs Elysees, and it can be called secret because it is “small and expensive”: the chamber hotel has only 26 suites and 14 double rooms.

However, I desperately don’t want to call La Réserve Hotel and Spa the word “hotel”, it doesn’t stick to it, whatever one may say. Here is a “Parisian guest house”, and at the same time a “closed club” - a completely different matter.

The founder of La Réserve Hotel and Spa, Monsieur Michel Rebier, set himself an extremely ambitious task: to open an aristocratic guest house in Paris spoiled by luxury, the equal of which the inhabitants of the capital of France have not yet seen.

And, what is there to be modest, Rebier succeeded. The first thing you notice when you get to La Réserve Hotel and Spa is the absence of any obligatory hotel attributes. There is simply no reception desk, for example, instead of it there is an elegant secretary's table, such can be seen in the same apartment-museum of Victor Hugo.

And the hall here is not a hall at all, but a salon in the style of the 19th century, but with obvious references to the era of King Louis XV the Beloved: if the chairs, then with velvet upholstery, if the mirrors, then in gilded frames, and the fireplaces, in which they crackle welcome firewood, decorated with flowers and lined with numerous marble figurines.

By the way, the furniture in La Réserve Hotel and Spa is mostly antique, and the special pride of the guest house is the library, on the shelves of which, next to modern publications, rare volumes from two hundred years ago are side by side.

By the way, some books are here with a secret - if you touch them with your hand, it turns out that this is not a volume of poetry at all, but a safe disguised as it. Notes may be hidden in other folios, which, according to tradition, guests of La Réserve Hotel and Spa leave as a keepsake of their stay here.

And pot-bellied candles are burning everywhere, and soft carpets completely drown out the steps, because the feeling that, by magic, he was transported to an aristocratic Parisian house of the Second Empire period, becomes completely unconditional and undeniable. And the back immediately straightens, and the movements become unhurried.

By the way, Michel Rebier achieved exactly this effect, because, in his opinion, the luxury of the situation should not put pressure on the guests, but, on the contrary, contribute to the maximum relaxation of the guests.

Due to what is this happening? Everything is simple! After your belongings are in the suite or apartment (by the way, it’s a nice moment, guests’ passports are not taken away at check-in, they are scanned with a portable machine right in the room), you actually acquire the status of a tenant of this amazing house.

Moreover, a smart home, because the apartments and suites at La Réserve Hotel and Spa are an exemplary example of how recognizable elements of the 19th century Parisian style decor and modern technologies can coexist on an equal footing in a single space. The walls of the rooms here are covered with damask silk fabrics, in the bathrooms and on the window sills - exclusively Carrara marble, and the parquet on the floor is Hungarian type-setting.

At the same time, guests control the light, heating and ventilation system in the apartments using a tablet. With its help, you can order room service or choose a movie, by the way, the TV here is hidden in the back of the bed, so if you wish, you can take it out into the light of day or put it out of sight.

In the late afternoon, you should go down to the library to listen to the piano while sitting in an antique armchair and sip wine or Calvados, or take a walk in the garden. Breakfast can be served directly to your apartment, or you can order the freshest pastries, fruit and eggs cooked to your liking at the Grand Salon La Réserve, which is adjacent to the library. No buffet, everything is exclusively à la carte, because breakfasts are prepared individually for each guest, and the famous chef Jerome Bantel is in charge of the kitchen.

By the way, La Réserve Hotel and Spa has two restaurants. The first is the two Michelin-starred Le Gabriel, where la cuisine francaise is reimagined in a Japanese style. The second - La Pagode de Cos - is already a classic of the Bordeaux region, which is no accident: Michel Rebier owns vineyards in Saint-Estephe, a commune of the Gironde, and it is there that the famous Cos d'Estournel wine is made.

By the way, La Réserve Hotel and Spa often has specials. offers for lovers, when booking a suite you will receive a deposit of 150 euros as a gift for dinner in one of the hotel's restaurants. It is worth noting that the amount is sufficient, because, for example, a lunch with three courses at La Pagode de Cos costs 75 euros.

2. HAVE DINNER IN BED IN A PARIS RESTAURANT

If breakfast in bed has already passed for you, then why not have dinner in bed, and not at home, but in a restaurant? This is possible in Paris! A specializes in this secret restaurant Derriere, whose name translates as "behind". The place is located at 69 rue des Gravilliers, the menu contains all the hits of French cuisine, but the main thing is the interior, because in addition to ordinary tables, one of the restaurant halls has a giant double bed.

Two of you should lie down on it and taste local specialties under the languid gaze of a naked girl - a picture with her image flaunts on the wall of the hall. The only thing is that the bed must be booked in advance on restaurant website www.derriere-resto.com. The establishment also has a single couch suitable for pampered singles or thin couples who want to dine lying down, but this is much less interesting.

3. LOOK INTO THE CINEMA WHERE AMELIE LOVED TO GO

The cinema was opened back in 1928, and Jean Cocteau himself worked on its interior. By the way, Salvador Dali was very fond of spending time here, which, of course, is not surprising, because it was in Studio 28 in 1930 that the premiere of Luis Bunuel's film "The Golden Age" took place, and, as you know, the eminent director and the famous artist were not just friends, but also closely cooperated.

Since the jazz era, the cinema has not changed at all in terms of interior, and to this day its repertoire contains only the timeless classics of American and French cinema. If you don’t feel like going to a rare film, just look at the bar open here, which is open from 15.00 to 22.00. The place is very atmospheric: on the wall is a group portrait of all the legends of world cinema, and around small tables there is lush vegetation, which makes it seem like you are in a kind of enchanted garden.

Well, looking at the interiors in the style of the roaring twenties is worth a lot, you involuntarily feel like the hero of the movie "Midnight in Paris", which in some unknown way moved to the time of Hemingway and Fitzgerald. It seems that now Dali will sit down at your table and seriously ask: “What do you think about rhinos?”

4. GO TREASURE HUNT AT THE LOUVRE

Most people have a difficult relationship with the Louvre. It seems not to go during a trip to Paris - even somehow indecent, there is the Mona Lisa, after all! And on the other hand, galloping through the halls is an extremely dubious event, and then many of us in childhood were overfed with excursions to museums, that art does not fit into the head, and even more so into the heart. Moreover, this famous line at the entrance, and Japanese tourists who always crowd around the unfortunate Gioconda in such dense rows that you need to pave the way to Leonardo's creation with almost your elbows.

Peace, only peace! I have the perfect solution for you. Remember, night quests were popular in Moscow, during which people tried to find secret signs hidden in various places, just like the main characters of "Angels and Devils" or "The Da Vinci Code"? So, today you can also go on a treasure hunt in the Louvre! They are satisfied with the company ThatMuse, which was invented by Daisy de Plume, an American living in Paris.

The hunt goes like this. First, a theme is chosen, such as "Angels", "Bestiary", "Food and Wine", "Love" or "Lady of the Louvre". Then the participants of the hunt are divided into teams, they get the task to find this or that symbol in certain pictures, and when it is found, they take a picture of it, send it to the organizers via What’s App and get the next riddle.

The fastest and smartest participant or his team wins. The hunt lasts from two to four hours, the organizers say that you only need to have a charged mobile phone with you, and shoes should be comfortable. In short, a great alternative to the usual excursions. The treasure hunt is available in English, French and Spanish and can be booked online website: www.thatmuse.com .

5. Have a picnic in the Tuileries Garden

Weather permitting, have a picnic in Tuileries garden(French le jardin des Tuileries), fortunately, its green chairs, on which elderly Parisians sedately sit with books and young people lay imposingly, are as recognizable a detail of the French lifestyle as a morning meal with coffee and a croissant.

An important question: "Where to buy goodies for a picnic?" The correct answer is in a cozy place Flottes And Go. It is located opposite the Tuileries, just a 10-minute walk from the Louvre, at 2 rue Cambon. This place is a good mix between a ready-made food shop and a classic Parisian cafe. Baguettes, sandwiches and focaccia stuffed with cheeses, salmon, zucchini and tomatoes are lined with pale wood shelves. There are also fresh salads, yoghurts, honey lavender ice cream and even takeaway soups.

At the same time, all the food in Flottes And Go is organic, and in addition to natural juices, you can also buy a bottle of excellent wine in the shop for a good mood. What is especially pleasant, the goodies here are packaged exquisitely, in the best traditions of the very French style that the expensive confectioneries of the Russian Empire in the 19th century loved to copy so much. The local napkins alone are worth something!

If you are a desperate lover of sweets and cannot imagine your stay in Paris without tasting pasta, then you should look into the patisserie located next to Flottes And Go Pierre Herme(address: 4 rue Cambon, 75001). Yes, it is not as well known in wide circles as Ladurée, but the iconic French egg white dessert is done here in the best possible way.

It is the most delicate and, according to the Parisians, it is Pierre Hermé pasta that has the perfect texture that even the most persistent imitators cannot repeat. Confectioners are especially good at pasta with rose and raspberry flavors, as they say, if there is a dessert with the taste of kisses in the world, then this is it!

6. TAKE A SELFIE AT THE WALL OF LOVE

For the perfect selfie for two, take note of two important Parisian locations. Place number one - known to all Bridge of Arts aka Pont des Arts. It appeared in the capital of France in 1804, and a long time ago it was chosen by couples in love and grooms with brides, who clearly do what they do here: they decorate the bridge with locks, because this ritual not only symbolizes the power of feelings, but also gives hope that feelings these will not weaken or fade over time.

If the love locks on the bridge don’t surprise you, then head to the wall of love, which was created in 2000 by calligrapher Federic Baron and artist Claire Quito. That's what she's called Le mur des je t'aime, its surface is lined with 611 black enamelled lava tiles, and the phrase "I love you" has been written on it 311 times in 250 languages. In addition, images of hearts are painted on the surface of the wall, and there is an unusual art object in the Jean Rictus Square in the Montmartre area.

7. WALK IN THE LUXEMBOURG GARDEN

Most of the inhabitants to the question: “What is the name of the Queen of France, who had the surname Medici?”, They will confidently answer: “Catherine” and they will be right, but do not forget about another of the Medici family - Mary, wife of King Henry IV of Bourbon. By the way, the king of France at first loved her very much, because Mary was pretty, but Her Majesty's imperious character and the regular scenes of jealousy that Mary, not without reason, arranged for her royal spouse, made their own adjustments to the relationship of the royal couple - they became, to put it mildly, cool .

But thanks to Mary, an incredibly beautiful woman appeared in Paris. Luxembourg Palace and garden of the same name. For many lovers of Italy, it may remind Boboli Gardens, and this is no accident - Maria grew up in beautiful Florence and tried to create a mini-branch of her native city in Paris.

There are 106 statues in the garden, its impressive territory is divided into two parts: in the English and French style, between which there is a pond. In addition to the monumental palace and the Medici Fountain, the Luxembourg Gardens also deserve attention in the rose garden, the orchid greenhouse, and the ancient apple trees growing here.

On weekends, street musicians and puppeteers often perform in the garden, and Parisians often come here to play chess. In a word, an ideal place for a walk in the company of your or your cher ami, especially in the warm season.

The many-sided and vibrant Paris is not in vain considered one of the most romantic places on earth: passions have been raging here for many centuries in a row. The French capital is “woven” from love and fashion, crispy loaves and croissants for breakfast, from many cozy corners with a love story and cabaret lights, from stone walls that have kept royal secrets for many centuries. Where else to go in love, if not to Paris? It is simply created in order to confess it in love! The main thing is to know the route.

Among the most romantic corners of Paris, we have chosen those that are worth a visit.

Grand Opera (approx. - Opera Garnier)

For the first time this grandiose opera house opened its doors in 1669, and today it is one of the most significant in the whole world. The activity of the theater began immediately after the recognition of opera as an art form by Louis XIV. Initially, the Opera Garnier was named after the Royal Academy, which taught dance and music. The name Grand Opera came to her only at the end of the 19th century.

Tickets are taken here in advance, because there are too many people who want to watch performances in which the most famous theater groups from all over the world participate.

If you want to start a romantic journey through Paris from its heart, start with the Grand Opera.

This Parisian avenue is celebrated in songs, paintings, plays and movies. Although it acquired its name only after the French Revolution.

The Champs Elysees has always been a significant place for Parisians. But under Louis the 16th, it is unlikely that an ordinary person would have ventured to walk along the Champs-Élysées - it was too dangerous on the Champs-Élysées in those days. And already in 1810, Empress Marie-Louise entered the capital in style through this avenue. Over time, the Champs Elysees became one of the symbols of power and the city as a whole. When the Cossacks of Alexander the 1st took Paris 2 years after the Patriotic War, they set up camp just on this avenue.

Mass building of the avenue began only in 1828, and in 1836 the Arc de Triomphe appeared.

Today, the Champs Elysees is the main street of the city. Life is in full swing here around the clock: parades and exhibitions are held here, musicians play, they are treated to aromatic coffee in the oldest restaurant on the avenue (Le Doyen) and they sell fashionable clothes, and so on.

For more than 7 centuries, one of the oldest palaces in France - and one of the most famous museums in the world.

The beginning of the Louvre was laid at the end of the 12th century, when Philip Augustus built a fortress, which was subsequently subjected to constant completions, rebuilding, and so on. With kings and epochs, the Louvre was constantly changing - each ruler brought something unique to the appearance of the palace. The palace was finally completed only by the end of the 19th century. However, it is still being rebuilt, trying to prolong the life of the most beautiful corner of France.

The Louvre keeps many secrets within its walls, and some of the secrets of the palace can be revealed on a tour. Besides, what if you get a chance to see one of the ghosts of the palace? For example, with the Egyptian Belphegor, who walks around the Louvre at night, with Queen Jeanne of Navarre, poisoned by Catherine de Medici, or with the White Lady. However, it is definitely better not to meet with the latter.

And on the way back, be sure to look into the Tuileries Garden with many secret corners and benches for couples in love.

This unique building impresses with its size, resemblance to a fortress, and uniqueness. Famed by Hugo, the cathedral has always been shrouded in legends, and to this day is considered one of the most mysterious places in the city.

It is important to note that the very site from which the cathedral grew has been considered sacred since ancient times. And the Parisians believe that the statues of chimeras, the unique ring handle on the gate, as well as the round bronze plaque make dreams come true. You should only ask for your innermost, holding on to this handle or turning around on your heel on a sign with zero km. As for chimeras, they are supposed to be tickled.

And be sure to climb the spiral staircase to the tower of the cathedral to admire Paris from a bird's eye view, and listen to the playing of the most respectable organ in all of France.

Majestic and memorable - this symbol of Paris does not need advertising. You can't go to the most fashionable capital in the world and not bring photos with the Eiffel Tower at arm's length.

It is worth noting that initially this tower was considered too awkward for Paris. But today, illuminated by thousands of lights, it is the main attraction, near which hundreds of thousands of couples declare their love and make marriage proposals.

Plus, if you're not too hung up on hard earned money, you can even book a romantic dinner right inside this Parisian symbol.

Another romantic place in the capital. The oldest bridge in Paris (approx. - 1635) you will find next to Notre Dame.

According to legend, if you exchange a kiss under this stone bridge, then together you will live to the very grave in love and harmony.

The Pont Marie connected the island of St. Louis (note - the richest Parisians live there) with the right bank of the Seine. A trip on a sightseeing river bus will definitely appeal to you, and if you also have time to kiss under the arches of the bridge ...

However, you can also rent a boat.

Centuries ago, the philosopher Abelard fell in love like a boy with his young 17-year-old student named Eloise. The girl, who reciprocated the theologian, was good in intelligence, beauty, and knowledge in science and languages.

Alas, happiness did not last long: a strong difference in estates, as well as the existing post of bishop, became an obstacle to a happy life together. Having escaped to Brittany, they got married secretly, after which Eloise had a son.

Not wanting to ruin her husband and his career, Eloise took her hair as a nun. As for Abelard, he was defrocked and sent to a monastery as a simple monk. However, the monastery walls did not become an obstacle to love: secret correspondence eventually became famous.

Today, lovers from all over the world travel to their grave, moved to Paris to the origins of their love story in the 19th century, to leave a note with a request in the crypt in the Pere Lachaise cemetery.

This romantic Parisian district is one of the most famous hills in the world, famous for its sad (and not only) stories that poured into the city in the 19th and 20th centuries, when the doors of the first cabarets flung open, flirtatious fashionistas craved revelry, and carefree fun on the hill was the way of life of the bohemia.

From here you will see the whole of Paris, and at the same time you will visit the Wall of Love, on which confessions are made in 311 languages.

Also, don't forget to find the bust of Dalida and touch it with your eyes closed. The bronze bust is said to have magical powers to fulfill romantic wishes.

This grave in the Pere Lachaise cemetery is also not to be missed! The stone sphinx guarding the grave of an English writer makes wishes come true if you whisper them in his ear and then kiss him.

However, Oscar Wilde has many eminent neighbors in that cemetery, including Jim Morrison, Edith Piaf and Beaumarchais, Balzac and Bizet, and others. And the cemetery itself is one of the most famous in the world.

Therefore, if you are not afraid of the dead, then be sure to take a walk along Père Lachaise (you will be surprised how many celebrities have found their last refuge there).

The world-famous cabaret appeared in the capital at the turn of two centuries and two wars. The cabaret was opened with pomp - in Montmartre, and its owners could hardly imagine that after almost 130 years it would be almost impossible to get tickets to this institution, and the shows presented at the Moulin Rouge would be the most expensive in the world.

However, the main thing remained - shocking and provocative show. Today, in this elite music hall, and once a former tavern for simple gypsum miners, you can spend several unforgettable hours with a romantic dinner and a fantastic performance.

Tickets, of course, are not cheap (about 100 euros), but the price includes champagne and a table for two.

One of the residences of numerous French monarchs - and the most expensive palace, reflecting the luxury of the era of the famous Sun King. In fairness, this palace is the most luxurious monument of the French monarchy.

The construction of the castle began in 1661 on the swamps. Today, the Palace of Versailles is not only a building of stunning beauty, but also a fantastic park with famous fountains and groves (more than 800 hectares!).

Here you can ride a boat or bike, watch a performance - and even attend a royal evening.

This beautiful place is located on the territory of the famous Bois de Boulogne. In 1720, a small garden and a simple house become the property of the Duke d'Estre, who makes a castle out of the house for holidays and calls it Bagatelle (note - in translation - a trinket).

Years passed, the owners of the castle changed, and half a century later the building with the territory passes to the Count D'Artois. The easy-going count makes a bet with Marie Antoinette that he will complete the reconstruction of the castle in just a couple of months, while you are on vacation in Fontainebleau. The bet was won by the count. At the beginning of the 19th century, the castle with the already erected park was bought by Napoleon, in 1814 it again passed to the count and his son, and in 1904 - under the wing of the Paris City Hall.

A visit to this park will give a lot of memories, because it has not changed much since the 18th century. By the way, the park is also famous for its rose garden, which annually hosts a competition for the best roses (the number of varieties exceeds 9,000).

Having started a romantic walk around Paris, do not forget about Place des Vosges, formed on the swamps by Louis 9th and donated by him to the Knights Templar.

The quarter, which was created in the 13th century on the site of drained swamps, developed so quickly that in the 14th century the royal family took possession of almost all the buildings (including the Tournel Palace) of the "too quickly and daring" prosperous Templars. Catherine de Medici also moved here with Henry the 2nd, who, at a knightly duel in 1559, received a spear incompatible with life, which later laid the foundation for the appearance of Place des Vosges.

The history of the square is truly rich: the square recreated by Henry the 4th was called the Royal Square, but the king, who was killed by a Catholic fanatic, did not have time to see it. A little later, the square is again magnificently opened, but this time in honor of the engagement of the new king with Anna of Austria.

Today, this ideal rectangle with a single through street is called Place des Vosges, which is surrounded by 36 houses and palaces of the king and queen, identical and looking at each other.

Why not? This magical place will give no less joyful moments than the river tram and the park of Versailles. Unforgettable emotions guaranteed!

True, it is better to take tickets in advance so as not to overpay at the park ticket office.

At your service here are more than 50 rides, 55 restaurants and shops, evening shows and musicals, behind-the-scenes movies and much more.

Not far from Disneyland, you can spend the night in one of the luxurious hotels, ideal for honeymooners and just lovers.

This stunning cathedral was built to commemorate the victims of the Franco-Prussian war. In the crypt of the basilica they keep an urn with the heart of Legentil, the founder of the church. The first stone of the Sacré-Coeur was laid back in 1885, but the cathedral was finally completed only after the war in 1919.

It is important to note that the basilica turned out to be too heavy for the fragile Montmartre, and 80 deepest wells with stone pylons were used as the foundation for the future cathedral. The depth of each well reached 40 m.

It is in the Basilique du Sacré Cœur that you will find one of the largest bells in the world (over 19 tons) and the loudest and oldest French organ.

And what places in Paris do you want to visit - or have visited - you? Share your feedback and tips!

The most alluring city in the world is definitely Paris. Shady boulevards, lantern-lit bridges, gourmet cuisine and café terraces lined with wicker chairs entice people from all over the world with their aura, no matter the time of year or day. The count of days is lost in the streets of Paris. What is the best way to spend your romantic day in Paris? But such a day must be in your plans and we will advise you this...

Morning... It will take you at least nine months to examine each piece of art in the Louvre, but the clever arrangement of the exhibits into thematic sections makes getting to know the museum more accessible. Couples in love should definitely follow the mythical love story of the great Aphrodite, where during this one and a half hour of a fascinating love journey you can see the image of the love pangs of famous literary heroes, for example, such as Eros.

The banks of the Seine are very beautiful and make Paris even more seductive. From the Louvre, you can take a leisurely walk along the river bank to the islands of Ile de la Cité and Ile Saint-Louis. Then, cross the Seine on the Pont de Archevêché (Archbishop's Bridge), the narrowest bridge in Paris, where couples in love attach locks as a token of eternal love and throw the key into the river. Stock up on a love lock and a key to it in advance and this romantic touch will remain in your memory forever.
