Romantic Weekend in Paris

Your hotel

If you’re coming by plane, allow ~60–90 min from CDG/ORY to central Paris. Drop bags early if needed.

Saint-Germain-des-Prés area

Pick a sidewalk terrace for peak romance. Keep it light—big dinner later.

Musée du Louvre / Jardin des Tuileries

Even if you don’t go inside, the courtyard + gardens are perfect for photos and a relaxed walk. Louvre tickets (if you decide to enter): https://www.louvre.fr/en/visit

Seine River (Pont des Arts → Pont Neuf)

Aim for golden hour; bring a small scarf/jacket—breezy on the water.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris

Peaceful at night and very romantic; keep valuables secure as it’s still a major area.

13 Rue de l'Ancienne Comédie, 75006 Paris

Historic, classic French dining with a romantic, candlelit feel. Reserve ahead if you can.

Montmartre

Start early to enjoy quieter streets. Croissant + pain au chocolat mission accepted.

Basilique du Sacré-Cœur / Place du Tertre

Climb to the dome if you want a view (weather permitting). Info: https://www.sacre-coeur-montmartre.com/english/
