If you are going to Paris with that special someone on a holiday, you must already be a romantic. However, if you’re going there for Valentine day, you’re even more romantic than I thought!
It’s certain that you will have plenty of things to do on your trip to Paris; romantic Paris sights and attractions, parks and gardens, restaurants and shows, but it is important to plan ahead and book your Paris apartments or hotels Paris, as naturally, Paris is a top destination for lovers all over the world on Valentine’s Day.
Some places we’d recommend you visit for a fantastic Paris getaway are; on Friday 16 February from 6pm to 11pm and February 17 to 18. In their 15 studios or exhibition spaces, in the Montmartre area, from the boulevard de Clichy to the top of the Butte,32 artists of the association d’Anvers aux Abbesses, will present their paintings, photos, engravings, mosaics, sculptures, jewellery… The theme for them all is love, seduction and encounters…
Why not prove to your loved one that you CAN cook? On Thursday 8 and Friday 9 February 2007 there is a cooking course designed for those in love. “Arômes et Saveurs (Aromas and Flavours)” cooking courses and learn how to create dishes inspired by Isabel Allende’s book “Aphrodite, the love of food and the food of love”. On the menu: “new life consommé”, “odalisques’ salad”, “joyous chicken”, “novices’ breasts”, and other sensual recipes…
After the perfect Paris accommodation, presents and atmosphere, comes the all important Valentine’s meal. If you are looking for the perfect romantic settings to spend time with your loved one, or maybe even pop a question or two?? My two favourite restaurants in Paris are:
1) L’Altro 16, rue du Dragon – 75006. Located in a busy street in Saint-Germain, this modern restaurant looks like a hybrid between Milan and New York: black beams, waxed concrete, mass-produced lamps and mirrors that industrial designer Gio Ponti would have adored! From the open kitchen come fine-looking dishes full of taste. Service is attentive, flexible and with a smile.
2) Citrus Étoile, 6,6 rue Arsène Houssaye. This restaurant serves a refreshing mixture of light, modern dishes to the heavier more traditional French dishes such as: foie gras-stuffed beignets topped in a syrupy-sweet port-wine reduction. The head chef; Mr. Epié is a true culinary genius and the décor of this restaurant is sure to set the right tone for your romantic evening.
