This park is somewhat overlooked by tourists as it doesn’t offer the classic Parisian experience. And it can be an advantage since you won’t run into crowds there.

But you will certainly find a quiet romantic spot to enjoy kissing.

5. Dine at the famous Lapérouse

The wall represents an art project that has rapidly become a major tourist attraction, as it features the expression “I love you” written in 311 different languages.

7. Hide in the Medici Fountain of the Luxemburg Gardens

The Luxemburg Gardens are the most popular place for Parisians of all ages to enjoy a nice sunny day, so the park may seem a bit crowded at first. However, if you manage to find the quiet oasis of the Medici Fountain, you will realize how calm and romantic this place may be when there are no crowds surrounding you.

8. Recreate the Hotel de Ville kiss

The Kiss on the Sidewalk is probably one of the most romantic photographs of all time, which has contributed to the fame of Paris as the main romantic destination.

And you can easily recreate the scene if you’ll have someone picturing you from the sidewalk café near the hotel.

9. Indulge in the Lovers’ Carnival at the Musee Carnavalet

The Museum of Parisian History was once home to Madame de Kernevenoy, who became a widow at the age of 25 and attracted so many suitors with her beauty that the court near her house was the place for a never-stopping carnival. And now it’s a tradition to enjoy the time in the gardens near the museum as it recreates the spirit of this place.

10. Take a romantic walk in the Tuileries Gardens

The public part just outside the Louvre has been a popular meeting place for centuries. Today, you can enjoy a romantic break at one of the outdoor cafes or embrace each other in the shade of the trees, while the surrounding atmosphere of classic Paris will enhance your romantic walk.
