Paris remains the world’s capital of romance. Its lights, the banks of the Seine, and its iconic monuments make it the perfect destination for a romantic escape. Here are 10 carefully selected romantic ideas to enjoy a unique experience together.
1. A romantic cruise on the Seine
If there’s only one activity to choose for a romantic stay in Paris, it’s a cruise on the Seine. Gliding along the water at sunset, with the Eiffel Tower lighting up before your eyes, is an experience that stays in your memory forever.
We offer several options. For a festive atmosphere, the Musical Apéro Cruise combines jazz and cocktails. For a more elegant evening, choose the Champagne Cruise on the Seine, with panoramic views of the city’s landmarks.
The boats are 100% electric and silent, with an upper deck offering unobstructed views. Departure is from Port de Suffren, just steps from the Eiffel Tower.
2. Have dinner with a view over Paris
Rooftop restaurants offer a unique perspective over the city. The 58 Tour Eiffel, Perruche at Printemps, or the terrace of Le Bouquet de Montmartre are all great spots where the atmosphere naturally becomes romantic at sunset.
3. Stroll through Le Marais at sunset
Le Marais is one of the most picturesque districts in Paris. Its cobbled streets, historic mansions, and small terrace cafés make it the perfect place for a hand-in-hand walk. Place des Vosges, the oldest square in Paris, is particularly magical at the end of the day.
4. Visit the Musée de l’Orangerie
Getting lost in front of Monet’s Water Lilies in the oval rooms of the Orangerie is a peaceful and contemplative experience. The natural light and the scale of the paintings create a timeless atmosphere — perfect for a romantic afternoon.
5. Go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at night
Booking tickets to the summit of the Eiffel Tower after 9 p.m. allows you to enjoy breathtaking views of Paris sparkling with lights, with far fewer crowds. Night slots sell out quickly, so booking in advance is essential.
6. Have a picnic on the Champ de Mars
A timeless classic: spread out a blanket facing the Eiffel Tower, open a bottle of wine, and watch the tower sparkle every hour after nightfall. Simple, free, and unforgettable.
7. Explore Montmartre
A village within the city. Montmartre retains a bohemian and intimate atmosphere that contrasts with the bustle of Paris. The Sacré-Cœur, Place du Tertre, and its steep streets create a naturally romantic setting.
8. Discover Paris from the Seine with a guided cruise
For couples visiting Paris for the first time — or those who want to rediscover the city from a new perspective — the guided cruise offers a poetic and historical introduction to the capital. Audio commentary is available in several languages.
9. Visit a temporary exhibition at the Grand Palais
The newly reopened Grand Palais hosts large-scale temporary exhibitions. Sharing an artistic discovery creates lasting memories and sparks conversations that continue long into the evening.
10. Take a walk in the Palais Royal gardens
The Palais Royal gardens are one of the most hidden and romantic spots in central Paris. Its arcades, fountains, and the Buren columns create an elegant stroll, away from the crowds of the nearby Tuileries.
Our personal recommendation
For a perfectly planned romantic evening, combine a sunset Champagne cruise with dinner at a restaurant near the Trocadéro. Seeing the Eiffel Tower first from the water and then from above creates a magical evening you won’t forget anytime soon.
