Now, thanks to Marie Claire Magazine,  the top five romantic places in Paris...

1. The Eiffel Tower

A trip to the Eiffel Tower is practically mandatory for couples in Paris, but heading straight to the top with throngs of tourists isn’t the only way to go. Dinner at the Jules Verne restaurant on the second platform lets diners combine amazing views with elegant French cuisine. Or, to really avoid the crowds (and the extra Euros) pack dinner and a bottle of wine and sit in the park below the tower for a picnic lit by the “Eiffel glow.”

2. The Pont des Arts

As countless films have proven, the Seine is the perfect backdrop to any romantic Parisian rendezvous. The Pont des Arts, a pedestrian bridge over the river, offers a picturesque view of Île de la Cité and has become a display place for artists and street performers. With street musicians providing the soundtrack to movie-perfect liaisons, it’s also a favorite spot for lovers.

3. Jardin du Luxembourg

The grounds of the French Senate may sound like the least enchanting place in Paris, but the gardens surrounding the Palais du Luxembourg have actually been a hotbed of romance for centuries. Famous couples from Napoleon and Josephine to Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir frequented the gardens and today it is still a favorite spot for lovers to stroll among the beautiful statues, fountains, and flowerbeds.

4. Montmartre

Set on a hill in northern Paris, Montmartre has some of the most breathtaking views of the city. But visitors also come to enjoy the quaint village atmosphere of the neighborhood itself. Today couples wander through the cafes, shops, and narrow winding streets where 19th century artists created the model of “la vie Bohème.

5. Champs-Élysées

Stretching from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Concorde, the Champs-Élysées is the most famous street in Paris. Known as “the most beautiful avenue in the world,” the broad, tree-lined boulevard is home to many restaurants, theaters and designer stores — and what's more romantic than a new Chanel bag?
