4 Romantic Things to Do in Paris


If you're in Paris with your sweetheart, lucky you. From its cobblestone alleys and glowing streetlamps to the Seine River and sidewalk cafes with cozy tables for two, the city was—no secret here—made for love. Here are a few ways to get romantic.

1. Dine at the Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is Paris' most-visited monument, but not everyone knows you can enjoy a meal in the tower. Truly living up to the phrase, "dinner with a view," the first-floor 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant, offers French cuisine in a sophisticated atmosphere with glass walls that provide an up-close look at the tower's architecture and a panorama of the illuminated city.

2. Cruise the Seine
There's something romantic about being on the water, especially in Paris, where an evening cruise along the Seine takes you under the city's bridges and past lit-up landmarks such as Notre-Dame Cathedral. Some cruises include dinner, live music, or a Champagne tasting.

3. Book a Special Sightseeing Tour for Two
A horse-drawn carriage ride or a private limo tour tailored to couples provides a romantic twist on regular sightseeing in Paris. A bottle of Champagne is a nice touch.

4. Renew your Wedding Vows
Commemorate your love for each other at the foot of the Eiffel Tower or at another romantic spot in Paris with a wedding vow renewal package. A professional photographer and more than 100 images are included for envy-inducing photos to show your friends back home.
