for a romantic getaway in Paris

Your Provinces Opéra hotel has some suggestions for you to explore together...
Even if lovers can no longer hang padlocks on the Pont des Arts, there are still plenty of sights to enjoy as a duo in the capital of love! Follow our guide for a romantic getaway in Paris, whether it's Valentine's Day or an impromptu weekend...

Around your 3-star hotel in Paris
The first stop on your romantic getaway, the Musée de la Vie Romantique is located in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. You can easily walk there from your Paris hotel in the 10th arrondissement. The Hôtel Scheffer-Renan houses collections celebrating the hymn to love, including works by George Sand. But the highlight is the Rose Bakery tea room and its secret garden, a charming place for a break for two in Paris.
Also around your 3-star hotel in the heart of Paris, don't miss the Opéra Garnier. The tour includes the auditorium, the library, the grand staircase, various salons... guaranteeing an immersion in romantic art. Nearby, the Rue de Rivoli district is ideal for a Paris shopping spree or a hand-in-hand stroll to the Louvre Museum.

Montmartre & Pigalle
During your romantic stay in Paris, take the time to discover Paris from its most romantic angle by visiting Montmartre. Stroll through its picturesque streets to the Sacré-Coeur basilica, from where you'll have a unique view of the capital. On your way down to the Abbesses district, don't miss the famous Mur des Je t'aime, located in the Square Jehan Rictus. Designed by Frédéric Baron and Claire Kit, it features 311 “je t'aime” in 250 languages!
At the foot of the Butte Montmartre, Pigalle awaits you for a lively, naughty atmosphere. Why not visit the Musée de l'Érotisme, a seven-storey exhibition of erotic art from all countries and eras? The district is also home to the famous Moulin Rouge, another iconic attraction to discover during your romantic weekend.

Top picks from your 10th arrondissement Paris hotel
Hand in hand, head for the quays of the Seine and Ile Saint-Louis, two unmissable spots for a romantic weekend. On sunny days, enjoy an ice cream at Berthillon's as you head for the Ile de la Cité. At the tip of the island, take a gentle break under the famous weeping willow of the Square du Vert-Galant, a peaceful and romantic spot par excellence. Another option: the mythical Latin Quarter, nearby.
Then, why not continue your romantic weekend with a visit to another iconic monument: the Eiffel Tower, or as it's often called, the Iron Lady. Treat yourself to a unique moment as you climb to the top for a breathtaking view of Paris.
To round off your romantic Parisian stay, what could be better than a dinner cruise on the Seine? Many barges offer dinner cruises with Paris lit up before your eyes.
Finally, it's time to return to your Provinces Opéra hotel. A night in this romantic and elegant setting will make your romantic stay an unforgettable experience.

Bonus: a walking itinerary through Paris, the city of eternal love
Start your romantic day at Place des Abbesses, on the Montmartre hilltop: ideal for a very Parisian breakfast before admiring the panorama from Sacré-Coeur.
Then take the metro or bus to the Jardin du Luxembourg to declare your love under the leaves of the splendid Médicis fountain.
Extend your stroll with a visit to the Marais, one of Paris's oldest districts. Here you'll find private mansions, the Picasso museum, designer boutiques, secret corners like the Carreau du Temple, and the restful calm of the Place des Vosges.
Continue your romantic escapade with a stroll through the Tuileries Gardens, and finish in style with a view of the illuminated Arc de Triomphe.
