How to spend Valentine’s Day in Paris
A morning bicycle ride along the banks of the Seine
You could start your Valentine’s Day with a morning bicycle ride along the banks of the Seine. It’s fairly quiet there in the morning, making it the ideal place for an outing with your loved one.
You’ll get a panoramic view of Paris’s most iconic landmarks, including the Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower,
as well as the chance to discover the beautiful old bridges that cross the river Seine and connect the two banks of the capital.
While you’re there, you could go for a romantic ride around Île de la Cité via Pont Neuf. If you fancy a longer excursion, head to Île Saint-Louis by crossing Pont de Sully and Pont Marie. Last but not least, take a trip to Pont des Arts – it’s one of the most romantic spots in the whole of Paris. A long-standing tradition has been for couples from all over the world to attach padlocks to this bridge as a symbol of their everlasting love.
An afternoon boat cruise in the heart of Paris
After your morning bicycle ride along the banks of the Seine, you could extend your day out with a romantic boat cruise on the river.
Some cruise boats have open-air upper decks, allowing you to enjoy a panoramic view of Paris which includes the world-famous Eiffel Tower.
Make your cruise extra special by enjoying a romantic lunch together in one of the Marina de Paris boat restaurants.
Late afternoon is the perfect time for a celebratory drink with your partner, so why not toast with a glass of champagne on a Pont Neuf boat?
Next up, gaze in awe at the twinkling lights of Paris’s night sky during a dinner cruise on board one of the floating restaurants run by Paris Dîner Croisières.
Make sure to book a table beforehand because boat trips in Paris are very popular, particularly on Valentine’s Day.
