Paris: the capital of love

Looking for something a bit out-of-the-ordinary? Why not take a little tour around Paris, the capital of love! Declare your love at the «I love you» wall, let yourself be swayed by the Seine as you rest in the arms of the one you love aboard a bateau-mouche riverboat... Experience an unforgettable trip from which you’ll return more in love then ever.

A place to say «I love you»

Montmartre is known not only for its panoramic view of Paris from the Sacré Coeur, but also for its authentic charm, with cobblestone streets and the famous steps of Montmartre hidden in its back alleys. Within the little tree-lined squares, musicians, painters and street artists keep alive the popular tradition of this area, once host to renowned writers and artists like Picasso, Modigliani, Apollinaire and Utrillo...

This passionate setting inspired Frédéric Baron, assisted by the artists Claire Kito and Daniel Boulogne, to create a monument to love and peace. Just as couples come to carve their initials on a tree, the wall has 1,000 «I love you’s» in over 300 languages. Located in Square Jehan Rictus, Place des Abbesses, this is the ideal place to declare your undying love.

A boat drunk …on love

There’s nothing more romantic and captivating than discovering Paris from the river. Take one of the many bateaux-mouche riverboats plying the Seine and get carried away by the magic of the City of Lights. Lovingly entwined, you will be swayed by the gentle motion of the water and can admire the legendary architecture of the capital’s most beautiful buildings. You’ll feel as if you were a teenager again, surreptitiously flirting under the majestic bridges marking the route.

This journey will take you to the heart of Paris, revealing all her charms, unless you’ve already embarked on a different journey, locked in your lover’s gaze.
