Bonjour Paris Top 10 Events

By Sarah Gilbert Fox

If one thinks of the most romantic city, overflowing with culture, abounding with gastronomy and fine wine and is exquisitely beautiful come nightfall, one is probably thinking of Paris. Whether alone or with your partner, Paris is the stuff love is made of. Here are the Top 10 places to rouse romance in the City of Love.

  1. The Eiffel Tower: But of course, that shining beacon that lights up the city is the ultimate spot to see sparks fly, especially come evening. After a ride to the top, you can tuck into a delicious meal at the elegant Jules Verne restaurant.
  2. Ile Saint-Louis: This tiny island is located in the heart of Paris. It’s renowned for its delightful ambience that will really get you in the mood.
  3. Place des Vosges: This historic square comes alive in the evenings when many musicians come to play free concerts in the arcades.
  4. Square du Vert-Galand: This hushed garden at the very tip of the Ile de la Cite provides one of a kind view of the Seine, which sparkles under the evening sky.
  5. Jardins du Palais Royal: The Royal Palace was a place where many historic events took place. You can still feel the history in what is now a hauntingly beautiful garden surrounded by prestigious galleries.
  6. Place du marche Saint-Catherine: At the center of Marais, this cherished square is surrounded by lovely restaurants. It gives off a friendly warmth found nowhere else in Paris.
  7. Jardin des Tuileries: First royal gardens to the Louvre, the Tuileries have been recreated over the years. They now provide a pretty view of the museum and several other favorite city sites.
  8. Place de Furstemberg: Amidst the bustling Latin Quarter, lies this attractive square that provides entertainment for a night of dancing along with quiet nooks for whispering sweet nothings.
  9. Jardin du Luxembourg: One of the most spacious and romantic parks in the city, Luxembourg also boasts a gorgeous palace for exploring which can be followed up by a romantic romp in the grass.
  10. Pont des Arts: This tiny foot bridge that hails from the early 19th century connects the Louvre to gardens. It is a place where artists come to recreate the lush scenery and a place where lovers come to gaze at the surrounding beauty, including each other.
