5 Activities to Do as a Couple in Paris | Romantic Plans
Paris is the perfect destination for a romantic getaway. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend, on a longer trip, or simply looking for a magical moment with your partner, here are 5 must-do activities to create unforgettable memories together.
1. A Romantic Seine River Cruise with Paris Seine
You can’t talk about romance in Paris without mentioning the Seine.
A sunset or nighttime cruise offers a moment suspended in time: golden light, illuminated monuments, a soft breeze over the water…
Glide past the sparkling Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre-Dame… accompanied by a glass of wine or even a full dinner if you choose a restaurant boat.
A poetic, intimate and perfect experience for a date.
Romantic Tip: choose an early-evening cruise to enjoy both daylight and nighttime illumination.
The best option is Paris Seine
2. A Drink at Le Perchoir, One of the Best Rooftops in Paris
A cocktail with a sunset over the Parisian rooftops? Always yes.
Le Perchoir Ménilmontant offers a bohemian, cozy and lush atmosphere — perfect for an intimate evening for two. The panoramic view of Paris is spectacular, and the relaxed vibe makes you feel instantly disconnected from the world.
Why we love it:
✔️ intimate atmosphere
✔️ warm, stylish décor
✔️ 360° panoramic view over Paris
Tip: arrive early to get a good spot, especially in summer.
3. A Stroll Through Montmartre and the Sacré-Cœur
Montmartre is romantic Paris at its best: cobblestone streets, charming old houses, artists painting in the open air, cozy cafés… and of course the iconic Sacré-Cœur Basilica.
Take your time walking up to the basilica, then wander through the surrounding streets: La Maison Rose, Place du Tertre, hidden staircases…
It’s a simple but beautiful walk — free, charming, and full of Parisian soul.
Don’t miss:
The breathtaking panoramic view of all Paris from the Sacré-Cœur terrace.
4. The Wall of “I Love You”
A discreet yet symbolic place, located in Abbesses Square in Montmartre.
This blue wall has become a must-see: it features “I love you” written in over 250 languages.
It has a sweet, poetic, and heartfelt atmosphere — the perfect little stop for a tender moment and a romantic photo together.
Tip:
It’s best to visit early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
5. A Walk Through Buttes-Chaumont Park
If you’re looking for a natural escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, this park is a hidden gem.
With its cliffs, lake, suspended temple and winding paths, Buttes-Chaumont feels almost “outside of Paris.” Perfect for a peaceful stroll hand in hand with your partner.
Why choose this park:
✔️ very romantic
✔️ beautiful views
✔️ a quiet place to talk, laugh and relax
