The Most Romantic Spots in Paris to Visit with Your Escort

The Magic of Monmartre

If you're on the hunt for one of those hidden corners of Paris, brimming with romance just waiting to be discovered, then allow me to lead you to Montmartre. This hilltop district, once the haunt of artists like Picasso and Degas, oozes love. The place practically whispers sweet nothings in your ear as you wander its winding, cobbled streets, hand in hand with your escort.

The sacred heart basilica, basilique du Sacré-Cœur, majestically nestled at the top of the hill, offers panoramic views of the city below. And oh, what a view it is! The sprawling Parisian landscape stretched across the horizon is a sight to behold on its own, but when shared with someone special, the experience attains a different, superior realm of beauty.

Cafés and bistros dot the area, providing ample opportunities for you to refuel and continue your explorations. One of my favorites is Le Consulat - I mean, where else can you sip on a perfect blend of coffee while gazing at the same streets that inspired famous poets and painters.

And how can I forget 'The Wall of Love', le mur des je t'aime? It's quite literally the stuff of romance novels, folks. This multilingual wall of 'I love you's from around the world is a perfect backdrop for those cute, couple-y photos. Believe me when I say, nothing beats declaring your love standing in front of a monument dedicated to one of the most powerful emotions known to mankind.

Picnic at Champ de Mars

What better way to experience Paris than by indulging in a traditional French picnic basket at Champ de Mars, with the iconic Eiffel Tower glittering in the background? On a sunny afternoon, this is the ideal spot to unroll a blanket and watch the world go by.

Bask in the sunshine, enjoy some mouth-watering French cheese, a crusty baguette, and a bottle of good wine. And when the sun begins to set, don’t forget to take a moment to just admire the Eiffel Tower as it begins its hourly announcement of night with thousands of twinkling lights. Seeing the Eiffel tower light up for the first time is an unforgettable experience everyone should have at least once in their lifetime... and if you're lucky enough to share that moment with your escort, well, aren't you just living the dream!

Champ de Mars is not only about the picnic though. This garden is perfect for a leisurely stroll, lined with beautiful flowers and an open-air bar where you can grab a drink if you're not up for packing your own picnic. Plus, the carousel and the playground might help channel your inner child, because who says romance can't be fun and playful?

Seriously, why pay through your nose for a crowded dinner at a stuffy restaurant when you can bask in the Parisian sun, eat like a local, and revel in the grandeur of the Eiffel Tower?

Evenings on the Seine

For your consideration, I present the River Seine - the lifeblood of Paris. This winding river is flanked by some of the city's most famous landmarks. From the Louvre to Notre Dame, its banks are a repository of Paris’s historical heart.

But the Seine is not just about a tour of historical Paris. Oh no. There's romance pulsing in this river, quite palpable in the longtime Parisian tradition of strolling along the banks – or ‘les berges’. The tree-lined paths, the beautifully decorated houseboats docked along the banks, it paints a picture no artist could truly capture.

A Seine River Cruise, my dear reader, takes this experience up several notches. Imagine this, sailing through the City of Lights with your escort by your side, while the architectural and historic marvels of Paris parade by. And if you time your river cruise correctly, you can watch the sun set over Paris and bask in the glow of the city lights reflected in the water. Trust me, it's poetry in motion.

You can certainly turn the romantic dial up further with a dinner cruise. Dining venues don’t get much better than this folks. Picture a candle-lit dinner, French cuisine, live music, all aboard a glass-covered boat giving you 360-degree views.

Stroll Through the Jardin des Tuileries

If you're a fan of nature and all its beauty, then the Jardin des Tuileries is a must on your list. Famed for its tranquility amidst the bustle of the city, this garden offers an intimate setting perfect for a romantic stroll or a cozy chat over cups of hot chocolate. Designed by the same landscape architect who designed the gardens of Versailles, Jardin des Tuileries is a testament to the resplendent French tradition of garden design.

The colorful, fragrant flowers, regal statues, and limitless sky overhead allow you and your escort to relax and connect on a deeper level. Don't forget to take a moment to stand on its western edge for a spectacular shot of the Champs-Élysées that leads to the Arc de Triomphe. After all, romance is often found in the shared appreciation of beauty.

Adding a dash of fun, rent a small sailboat to glide over the garden’s reflective ponds. It is a simple pleasure that doesn’t lose its charm, even in the most sophisticated city in the world.

Like a timeless painting, the Jardin des Tuileries only grows more beautiful as the day gives way to night. The setting sun paints the garden with hues of gold and orange making the moment even more enchanting.

Love Underneath the Stars at the Paris Observatory

If you wish to take your romantic adventure to astronomical heights, then save an evening for the Paris Observatory. Known as the oldest astronomical observatory that serves public viewing, this place lets you explore distant galaxies, all while firmly rooted in the city of amour. How's that for a romantic night out?

The poetic bridging of vast cosmic spaces and intimate human connection is a unique experience. Here, under a blanket of twinkling stars, you can make promises, share dreams, and maybe see a shooting star to wish upon.

Whilst I relish my solo travels to the Observatory and the serenity it offers, the truth is, it is a place better suited for lovers. I remember one starry night when I was there with a special someone. As we gazed upward, our hands brushed.

My heart filled with the same wonder I feel when I look at the stars, but for a human being. And isn’t that what love is about? Discovering the universe in someone while lost in an actual one?

Talking about the cosmos, whispering sweet promises, sharing comfortable silences under the dark cloak of the universe...it is an experience I would repeat, and one I would recommend to all lovers visiting Paris.

So, there you have it - my top picks, a love letter to the city of romance, detailing all the prime spots to share a journey of love. Paris, with its historic charm, culinary prowess and architectural beauty has vast potentials for romance – a silent street corner, a bustling café, or a prestigious monument. So do not just stick to the well-travelled route. Explore. The city of love waits with open arms.
