Paris, nicknamed the city of fashion, the city of lights and especially the “city of love”, is not only one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but above all, it is the city where all lovers want to get at least once in their lives.
But what makes Paris, more than any other city in the world, a romantic destination? Paris exudes love and emotions. The buildings have a special charm, and the banks of the Seine make you think of love movies, such as “Midnight in Paris” or “Amélie”. The music makes you vibrate, and the steamy air of romance seduces you as soon as you arrive in Paris.
A walk through the city on the narrow streets of Paris is always romantic, especially since there is always something charming to look at.
Paris has gained fame as a city of love thanks to its many cabarets, which are concentrated around Montmartre hill. The doors of the first cabaret- Moulin Rouge, Lapin Agile, Folies Bergere – are open to visitors to this day.
Montmartre, called by French guides “the village inside the metropolis”, is the place that attracted many talented artists, poets, and musicians in the early nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The place is also very bohemian and full of chic cafes and restaurants, perfect for a trip for two.
Mur des je t’aime – The Wall of Love, located next to the Abbesses square in Montmartre, is a beautiful monument dedicated to love. The artist Frédéric Baron wanted to illustrate a place of reconciliation, a mirror that reflects love. Thus he erected this monument that covers an area of 40 square meters and contains over 300 declarations of love.
Of course, the most visited attraction in Paris is and remains the Eiffel Tower. With a height of over three hundred meters high, this construction is definitely the favorite place of lovers around the world. And if you want to surprise your boyfriend or girlfriend even more, then don’t forget to make a reservation in advance at one of the restaurants in the tower, where you can enjoy the “oauuu” view of Paris together. Especially don’t forget to visit the tower together in the evening, when he is dressed in an enchantment of lights.
And if you are a couple passionate about nature, and outdoor outings, then you certainly should not miss the Gardens around the Luxembourg Palace. They are exactly what you need for a romantic walk for two.
You can also go on an amazing adventure through the cemetery park, Pere Lachaise! You can enjoy a quiet walk through the necropolis, and you will find many interesting things here, such as unusual angles for unique photos or the tombs of idols such as Edith Piaf or Jim Morrison.
Undoubtedly, everyone who comes to Paris also wants to see the Notre-Dame Cathedral, so poetically described by Victor Hugo in his novel of the same name. And even if the cathedral is not currently open to the public- is closed for repairs after the devastating fire in 2019, which took place in the cathedral tower, it still remains an objective of interest, which is still required on the shore. The Seine, still attracting thousands of tourists and lovers.
Located in Paris, a place not to be missed is the Louvre Museum – famous for its colossal collection of the most famous works of art, such as Leonardo da Vinci’s “Monna Lisa” and Milo’s priceless sculpture of Venus, by an unknown ancient Greek master. Today, the museum’s exhibition presents over 135 thousand exhibits of works of art from different eras and peoples.
With so much smell of love, culture, and art, we must not believe that Paris is an exclusive tourist city. On the contrary, he lives his life, as if he did not notice the thousands of visitors who roam the streets tirelessly. Parisians also leisurely stroll along the Champs Elysees or have breakfast in the open cafes, where all the chairs are facing the street. And in the evening they kiss enthusiastically on the bridges across the Seine, while the city’s guests try to capture these moments in their memory, in order to keep the memories and the image of “la vie en rose a Paris” for life.
