Paris on Valentine's week - Top 4 things to do
Traveling during Valentine’s week with your loved ones might be one of the best decisions we ever make when we choose the right destination. Where else could be the right place than the City of love, Paris?
Paris is the ideal location for a romantic getaway. It offers a huge number of romantic experiences and fun activities for couples, friends and family on Valentine’s Day. Whether you are looking for a romantic evening stroll or a scenic picnic, you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, there will always be something new to discover in this city of love. Whatever your preferences, Paris has something to offer for every romantic occasion.
Here are the top 4 activities that you can do along with your loved ones during your stay in Paris.
1.Cruise on Seine
The Seine River is one of the most iconic landmarks of Paris. A dinner cruise on the Seine is one of the most romantic experiences the city has to offer. Just imagine how awesome it would be to enjoy a delicious dinner while admiring the beauty offered by the City of Love. The cruise will be around the famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre Museum, all lit up in the evening.
The cruise boats are a luxury in itself. They are very comfortable with large windows and comfortable sitting spaces. The dinner you get to enjoy is a high quality gourmet French cuisine and many range of choices are also provided. It ends with a beautiful dessert and coffee or tea.
There will be live music played by bands during the cruise which will only add to the romantic ambiance. The entire cruise lasts for around three hours.
There are different types of tours offered in the Seine cruise. There are sightseeing cruises, Lunch Cruises, Dinner Cruises, and Hop-on-Hop-off Cruise. The audio commentary during the tour is available in 14 languages. The duration of the cruise varies upon your choice of tour. The cost of these cruises start from €15 and can go above €200 depending on the choice made.

2. Dining in the Eiffel Tower
The first thing that comes to anyone’s mind while thinking about Paris is The Eiffel Tower. Imagine sitting on the top of the world wonder with your loved one and enjoying a romantic dining experience. Now, you don’t have to imagine; the Eiffel Tower boasts two distinct restaurants, Jules Verne (A Michelin-starred restaurant on the second floor) and Madame Brasserie (a new Parisian venue on the first floor). Each restaurant has unique chefs and styles, requiring separate bookings from a Tower visit. For those seeking a more casual experience, delightful buffets filled with sweet and savory snacks and beverages are available on the first and second floors and the esplanade. A visit to the macaron bar on the second floor or the champagne bar at the top rounds out the irresistible dining experience.
The place offers one-of-a-kind experience with your family, friends or partner while providing a breathtaking view of Paris.
The restaurant offers a family-friendly lunch menu with a starter, main, and dessert starting from €48, with two services at 12 pm and 1.30 pm. The dinner menu is more refined and luxurious, with a starter, main, and dessert starting from €90, with two services at 6.30 pm and 9 pm. It is advised to reserve your tables beforehand for both lunch and dinner.

3. Paris Food Tours
The city of love is not only about architecture and scenic beauty but is also known mainly for its chocolates and pastries. And what is Valentine’s day without involving a dessert? This is where the food tours come in handy.
A Paris food tour is a delightful way to experience the city’s rich culinary culture, known for its decadent pastries, cheeses, wines, and other delicacies. These tours may be guided or self-guided and often include visits to local markets, cafes, and restaurants to sample a variety of French specialties, such as croissants, macarons, escargots, foie gras, and crème brûlée.
There are different tour providers with various tour options, and the most common ones include the Chocolate and Pastry food tour & Champagne tasting tour. These tours can range anywhere from 1.5 hours to an entire day, depending on the tour of choice. The costs of these tours start at around €15 and can go up to €1500+ depending on the number of people and the choice of the tour made.
There are many sites where you can get information regarding hundreds of these food tours, and I found some of the best-detailed information and guides on these pages: Secret Food Tours and Get Your Guide.
4. The Disney Land Paris
What else can make the City of Love even more enchanted and magical other than the Disneyland experience in Paris with your partner!?
Disneyland Paris is a popular theme park located in Marne-la-Vallée, about 20 miles east of Paris. It features two parks, Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park, as well as several resort hotels and a shopping and entertainment district. It is a top tourist attraction in France and draws millions of visitors each year.
There are even separate activities and attractions for those visiting as a couple or with friends. Couples can enjoy special events and activities, including character meet-and-greets, parades, and fireworks shows, all with a Valentine’s Day theme. Disneyland Paris also offers a variety of dining options for couples, ranging from casual cafes to upscale restaurants, where they can indulge in a special Valentine’s Day menu. They also have dreamy and beautiful venues to conduct weddings, engagements and vow renewals!
We can purchase a dated ticket with or without shuttle service or an undated ticket with a validity of 1 year. The cost of each of these tickets will vary based on seasonal pricing and availability.
To check booking availability for the parks and hotels, you can click here and visit the official Disneyland Paris site.
I have only mentioned some of the couples’ favorite activities during Valentine’s week in this blog. You can also visit some other historical and beautiful places in Paris like the Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Arc de Triomphe, Palace of Versailles, Champs-Élysées, Musée d’Orsay, Sainte-Chapelle etc.
Finally, with these four Valentine’s week ideas, I hope you and your partner will make unforgettable memories in Paris over this and all the Valentine’s day to come.
