Paris, France
Paris is synonymous with love. From the top of the Eiffel Tower to the smallest champagne bubble, the city is bursting with romantic spots: secluded parks, breathtaking views, and café tables cozy enough for two. Start your evening off with a bottle of wine along the Seine, indulge in some of Paris's famous culinary delights, and finish off the night in an intimate underground jazz club. C’est la vie en rose.
