Diner with a view

So how about dinner on the Seine River while cruising with Alain Ducasse newly opened “Ducasse sur Seine”? Or how about gazing over the River from the Kenzo glass ceiling at KONG?

Montmartre forever!
Head to one of the most romantic neighbourhoods of Paris! Lose yourself in the narrow and hilly streets, enjoy the views over the city, explore the art galleries and of course, take a visit of the lovely Museum of Romantic Life.
And if you want to make Valentine’s a little different from another tourist day, how about sipping some Champagne at La Degustation and ending the night singing on the footsteps of Cezanne, Van Gogh and Monet at La Bonne Franquette? And for those looking for a typical “guinguette”, head to Rosa Bonheur for dancing until late in the night!
