Roses are red, violets are blue, I’m flying to Paris and I’m taking you! Happy Valentine’s Day!
ATELIER - Gorgeous 2 bedroom at the foot of Montmartre Hill
If you’re fortunate enough to be spending Valentine’s Day in Paris with your significant other it may just prove to be the most romantic Valentine of your life.
Paris is known throughout the world as the city for lovers. So coming to Paris on or around Valentine’s Day can be truly idyllic. As you turn the corner of a medieval street, take in the view of a gorgeous morning in a bucolic park or admire the breathtaking vistas over any of Paris’ bridges, romance is everywhere.
If you are looking to impress, surprise or move your sweetheart to tears, Paris Hideaways has compiled some great ideas for an unforgettable Valentine getaway in Paris.
When planning Valentine’s Day in Paris most people will immediately think of a dinner cruise or a night at a cabaret. But Paris has so much more to offer for that special day of the year. After all, Paris is internationally known as the capital of romance and Parisians like to think of themselves as the world experts on love…
Love comes naturally in Paris on Valentines Day and there are numerous settings that inspire intimacy and sentimentality. Whether you are cuddled up in a warm blanket with a glass of wine sitting in the Square du Vert Galant, at the quays looking at the reflection of the city on the Seine, simply passionately kissing and holding hands in the Palais Royal gardens or under the arcades of Place des Vosges, Paris is the perfect backdrop for a romantic I Love You…or Will you marry me?
When people think of a Paris getaway for Valentines, they may think of luxury hotels, an expensive meal in a Michelin star restaurant and some champagne at the end of the night. However, it is so easy to push the thought of Valentines in Paris further and take it up a notch by making it extra special, extra unforgettable, extra unique.
So put aside the idea of hotel – restaurant – boat cruise and check if these packages have the wow factor you are looking for.
