Eiffel Tower
A visit to the Eiffel Tower is practically mandatory for all couples who come to Paris for a romantic getaway or in their honeymoon. But, unfortunately, the only way to get to the top is with other tourists.
A dinner to Jules Verne restaurant, on second level-115.73 meters (379 feet, 8 inches)- offers an extraordinary panorama of Paris. Jules Verne Restaurant allows tourists to enjoy the amazing view while tasting the exquisite specialties of French cuisine. In January 2007, the multi-Michelin star chef Alain Ducasse was brought in to run Jules Verne. To avoid the crowd, you can have a dinner to-go and a bottle of wine and eat near the Eiffel Tower, on the grass.

Pont des Arts

Montmartre
The view upon Paris that Montmartre offers you will certainly leave you speechless. But tourists come here to feel the atmosphere of the French quartier. You can discover the hill during the day, but still come back for an astonishing view in the evening. Montmartre is one of the last places in Paris that kept their “olden days” touch, while walking around the hill at night will place you for just a few minutes in the Paris of the late 1800s. This is definitely one of the most appropriate places for a romantic walk under the quiet glow of the street lights.

Île de la Cité
Île de la Cité is the larger of the two islands situated at the center of Paris. It is situated downstream of Île St Louis, and it's most notable sights are the Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Saint Chapelle. At the western tip of Île de la Cité stands the Pont Neuf (the “New Bridge”) build there in the 16th century. Beneath the Pont Neuf lies the Square du Vert Galant, named after Henri the 4th of France. The words Vert Galant allude to the king's unbridled passion for ladies. The view from the little tree-lined park opens up on the river, and faces the Pont des Arts and the Louvre museum.
