The dating scene in Paris is just as exciting and modern as it is in most places in the world. But what makes it more distinctively romantic is the city itself which is filled with famous landmarks and breathtaking spots.

Paris also has its own charm and glamour which is why it is regarded as the most romantic city in the world. And with the number of honeymooners and couples travelling around and seeing the magnificent romantic spots, love is definitely always in the air.

So what are the classic elements of a Parisian date? Let me share them with you.

Wall of Love (Le Mur Des Je t’aime)

This place, Le Mur Des Je t’aime, is famous among couples. You may have probably heard about it or seen it in movies.

It is tucked away in Montmartre’s beautiful Jehan Rictus garden square and attracts a great number of tourists and couples everyday.

The mural was created in the year 2000 by artists Federic Baron and Claire Kito. They adorned it with hundreds of interpretations of “I love you” or “Je t’aime” in 250 languages.

Sunset Cruise along Seine

The city of Paris is said to be most magical during its sunset. Having your loved one beside you as you cruise along Seine is a classic romantic date that is famous among tourists and locals.

This Bateaux Mouches ride along the beautiful Seine is usually an hour-long and open-air cruise that escorts guests and tourists past the most monumental landmarks of Paris.

Some of these are the Notre Dame Cathedral, Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Pont Neuf and Port Alexandre III.

Here’s a tip, couples share a kiss as they cross under Pont-Marie lover’s bridge as a form of tradition.

Watch a Classic Film at Le Champo

Art Deco Le Champo is showing art house cinema ever since it launched its newly renovated book store in 1938. It is now well-known for classic films from creative film makers such as Alfred Hitchcock and Federico Fellini.

Tourists come here to watch classic films the Parisian way. It has also become one of the city’s distinct landmarks for the tasteful movies and exemplary cinematic experience it offers.

Experience riding the Sacre-Coeur’s Carousel

This enchanting double-decker is a photograph-worthy landmark in Paris and it’s well-loved by kids and kids at heart. Couples come here for the photographs and to witness the picturesque beauty that surrounds it.

It is most beautiful at night when the ornate and flower-adorned carousel flicks on its carnival lights. Kids especially adore the wooden horses, planes and the convertibles that go around against its warm glow.

Wine Tasting at Le Clos Montmartre

Le Clos Montmartre is famous for being Paris’ sole vineyard. Most tourists aren’t aware that Paris is actually hiding a vineyard at the heart of Montmartre.

For an extraordinary yet romantic date, an organized tour to this spot with a local Montmartrois guide is a great idea to explore the private and exclusive area that produces 800 to 1,000 bottles per year.

I’ve tried this once with a group of fellow culinary arts students and it was a great experience. What makes it more wonderful is that guests and tourists can indulge in some mid-tour tasting.
