The Père Lachaise Cemetery

Although it may seem strange to set up an amorous meeting at a cemetery, it must be known that few places attract as many Parisian lovers as the Père Lachaise cemetery does.

The Seine

It might come across as cliché but a boat cruise on the Seine nonetheless remains one of the best ways to discover Paris. It’s also quite practical if you’re short on time; not only will you be able to see Paris’s main monuments (Eiffel Tower, Alexandre III Bridge, Notre Dame, the Grand Palais...) but you’ll also enjoy a delicious traditional French meal. In fact, choosing the dinner-boat cruise package means seeing all those famous monuments lit up at night -- an experience that is tempting even for Parisians as the city takes on a different look. It’s also a great way to spend a relaxing, romantic evening for two.

No need to plan something outrageous or incredibly complicated; the unknown and the unusual lurks on every corner of the streets of Paris. Here are just a few ideas to get you started on planning your night out between lovers!

An Air of Mystery

Imagine this scenario...

Set up a rendezvous with your loved one at the end of the day in a secret garden and there leave an enigmatic note with an address and the instructions to find you there. As for the meet-up location, you could choose the poetic Récamier Square in the 7th arrondissement on a dead-end street; the Saint-Gilles-Grand-Veneur Garden in the Marais district where a passage on 12, rue Villehardouin and Rue Hesse lead you to the garden; or even the unknown botanical garden at the Paris Pharmacy campus where one may enter unseen and unknown via 4, avenue de l’Observatoire. Follow an alley until, on the left, you see the garden where you and your loved one can stroll incognito without fear of running into possible enemies or rivals...

A Bar with a Secret Entrance

If going out for a drink on Saint Valentine’s Day seems ordinary than you haven’t yet been to this bar on 5, rue Sedaine in the 11th arrondissement. Behind Da Vito’s, a typical pizzeria that Italian cuisine lovers flock to, lies a fabulous speakeasy bar, inspired by the American prohibition era when alcohol flowed clandestinely behind ordinary-looking storefronts. To get to this Parisian moonshiner, you’ll have to go behind a large wooden door, cross the storage room and push through an imposing black door...exactly what you need to lead your Valentine to think you’re a secret agent! There you’ll find an art deco bar with retro cocktails, a chill ambiance that will take you back in time far from probing looks...

A Midnight Dip in Paris

Looking for something a little more “select?” What about taking your Valentine to an underground pool where under stone vaults you’ll both enjoy a massage before relaxing in the pool for an hour and a half? From there, head to the bar for some champagne -- an excellent way to begin the night out and to cut yourselves off from the rest of the world! For those who want the pleasure to last a bit longer, the smallest 5-start hotel in Paris is also Oscar Wilde’s last residence that regularly welcomes the most famous celebrity couples looking for a discreet place to stay. 

An unexpected dinner

When it comes to appetite, a little bit of mystery will certainly sharpen your senses! And Paris, a city that is bursting at the seams with “secret” restaurants,” is the perfect place to enjoy a memorable Saint-Valentine’s Day meal. By “secret” we mean guesthouses inspired by Anglo-Saxon supper clubs where the menu, your fellow restaurant-goers and even the place where you’ll eat remain a mystery until the last minute! What’s even better is that the dishes are elaborated by passionate cooks who are more than happy to exchange with their guests -- little by little, your desire to eat fabulous food melds with a convivial ambiance! 

If you prefer to get your money’s worth and a cozier ambiance, you can opt for an intimate dinner for two at La Tête dans les Olives, an olive-oil boutique where exceptional Sicilian products can be tasted as well as orange salad, salted ricotta, mint-flavored carrots and a wide selection of olives that will no doubt satisfy your hunger in an intimate environment conducive to awakening new desires.

A Top-Secret Rendezvous

Secret rendezvous often rhymes with hotels...the idea sounds fun but perhaps you’re not keen on going to a place that’s not really reputable. If you want to hold onto the secret spirit without neglecting quality, your Saint-Valentine’s Day can be spent -- literally -- in luxury in a charming room at an interesting price.
