A romantic weekend in Paris: our ideas for two

There’s a reason Paris remains the city of love: everything here invites you to slow down, together. Bridges at sunset, gardens, candlelit dinners, evening walks along the Seine… Here’s our recipe for a romantic weekend in Paris, from a prestige apartment in the heart of the capital.

Strolling hand in hand across the bridges

Start with the bridges of Paris. The Pont des Arts, facing the Institut de France, the Pont Neuf and its lamps, the quays where you simply stop to watch the water go by. In the golden light of late afternoon, it’s the most romantic setting in the city — and it’s free.

A sunset over the Tuileries

In the heart of Paris, the Tuileries garden takes on a magical light at the end of the day. Settle into a chair by a pond, facing the Louvre, and let the sun go down behind the Concorde. A suspended moment, perfect for lovers.

Candlelit dinner and an evening walk

As evening falls, Paris lights up. Treat yourselves to a dinner in one of the neighbourhood bistros, then continue with a walk under the arcades of the rue de Rivoli or along the Seine. At 9 pm, look up: the Eiffel Tower sparkles for five minutes, like a wink.

The luxury of a cosy nest in the heart of Paris

Perhaps the most romantic thing of all is coming home… with a view. Our apartment on the rue de Rivoli, on the 6th floor facing the Tuileries and the Louvre, turns a simple morning coffee or a glass at sunset into an unforgettable memory. The centre of Paris at your feet, with intimacy too.

Our ideas for a weekend for two

A Seine river cruise after dark, a picnic in the Tuileries, a museum together (the Louvre is five minutes away), a glass of champagne facing the sunset… In Paris, romance is mostly about simple moments, shared in the right place.
