If you plan on visiting Paris over Valentine's Day, you’ll be sure to have an even more magical experience in the most romantic city in the world. What better way to declare your love than to spend time together in the City of Light and Romance??

1. Where To Stay - Of course, renting an apartment is first on our list of things to do! Nothing could be more romantic than staying in your own pied-a-terre with a great balcony and a peek-a-boo view of the Eiffel Tower. You'll think that you died and went to heaven, Heavenly rue Cler that is! Check out ID #338 Heavenly rue Cler Market One Bedroom for a bit of romance at its best.

4. The Way To Someone's Heart Is Through Their Stomach - Paris has no shortage of romantic restaurants, but be sure to make your reservation early to ensure you won't be left out in the cold on that special day. Check out this link from our friends at The Local for some inspiration.

5. Visit The "I Love You: the Wall" - Mur des Je t'Aime - Located in Montmartre in the unassuming Square Jehan Rictus, the Wall of Love was created in 2000 by calligraphist Frederic Baron and mural artist Claire Kito. Frederic started collecting different ways to write "I Love You" by visiting embassies around the city. Built with 612 blue tiles with "I Love You" written 311 times in over 250 languages, it is 40m long. The red tiles signify parts of a broken heart, but we think it's the perfect place to declare your love.
Nearest Metro - Abbesses

6. Enjoy A Romantic Picnic In Your Apartment - No need to worry about the weather, we can deliver a picnic right to your apartment! Really! Market fresh foods, cheese, baguettes and wine are just a small selection of what's available. Even a cotton picnic blanket to take back home as a memento. Could it get any more romantic?

8. Visit The Eiffel Tower Kissing Booth - If you're looking for a really great selfie with your love and a way to immortalize your stay in Paris, visit the Eiffel Tower on Valentine's Day.

There's also a large panoramic window that will be decorated with a painted Eiffel Tower "Place To Kiss" where you can leave a personalized heart with your names on it. The photo of all the personalized hearts will then be posted on the Eiffel Tower's social media pages. Before you leave, be sure to visit the customized photo booth and get a printed photo strip as a keepsake!
