Here are some enchanting ideas to help make your luxury couples’ holiday in France extra special.

The Ultimate Romantic Destination

France has been the backdrop for countless love stories, inspiring poets, writers, and filmmakers for centuries. From bohemian artwork and movies like Moulin Rouge to musicals like The Phantom of the Opera, the country has been the springboard for the creation of beautiful romantic pieces.

And it makes sense. This is a truly stunning destination. You might be strolling through picturesque villages, sharing a croissant in a quaint café, or exploring grand châteaux, but you’ll always find that France offers you and your partner the perfect setting where you can spend some time together.

Visit Paris 

Paris is the go-to destination for couples. Often referred to as the City of Love, it’s become a popular choice for marriage proposals. It’s easy to see why you’d want to ask for someone’s hand here. Sharing a kiss under the sparkling lights of the Eiffel Tower or taking a nighttime boat cruise along the River Seine are some of the most magical things to try here.

Or you might want to indulge in an intimate meal for two at one of Paris’ many Michelin-starred restaurants. From gourmet tasting menus to bistros, there are many eateries to choose from.

Are you an art-loving couple? You can get lost in the galleries at the Louvre or Musée d’Orsay or simply wander hand-in-hand through the charming neighbourhoods of Montmartre, Le Marais, and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, taking in the architecture and discovering hidden gems.

Wine Tours

Head to the country’s wine regions for a tour of the vineyards. Provence and Bordeaux are home to some of the finest wines in the world. Guided tours often include visits to historic wineries, cellar tours, and tastings.

Should a glass of champagne be more your thing, take a trip to the drink’s namesake. Explore the prestigious Champagne houses, learn about the production process, and toast to your love with a glass of bubbly.

Look to the Skies

For a romantic evening, look up. Mont Saint-Michel is a picturesque island commune in Normandy that offers one of the most beautiful sunset views in France. The clear skies of the Provence countryside, meanwhile, are ideal for stargazing. Pack a blanket and a bottle of wine, and watch the stars twinkle above as you relax in each other’s arms.

France is filled with romantic locations that make it the ideal destination for couples seeking an unforgettable getaway. Plan out where you want to go and take your partner by the hand as you explore all this country has to offer.
