Our boss proposed in a grand way, like a modern-day knight in shining armor, with a horse and carriage. It gave us an idea, to make your life easier with a list of the best places to propose to your loved one.
For the romantics
Musée de la Vie Romantique Garden
Easy but essential, the Musée de la Vie Romantique Garden is… romantic. It is relatively calm (if you go at the right time), with beautiful flowers, a private atmosphere, and it won't break the bank for a dream destination. It's right there, just next to you…

16, rue Chaptal - 9th
For those who aim high
Terrass" Hotel We don't go far, but we go higher. The chic Terrass" Hotel bar (4 stars, please), offers a view that overlooks Paris from the sky-high neighborhood of Montmartre. It's safe to say that a marriage proposal in front of the Eiffel Tower + head in the clouds = absolute yes. At least, we hope so.

For literature enthusiasts
Shakespeare and Company
Shakespeare and Co is a small English bookshop located in the 5th arrondissement. If books had a smell, it would be the scent of Shakespeare and Co, a paradise for every self-respecting literature lover. The place overflows with nooks and crannies (including one with cushions!), perfect for a stolen kiss in complete discretion. added bonus: a piano is available if you want to serenade your loved one with a piece. Guaranteed success!
37, rue de la Bûcherie - 5th Open every day from 10am to 11pm
Shakespeare & Company Bookstore
For fans of Romeo & Juliet
Small bridge at Parc Monceau Parc Monceau is already splendid in itself, but we have something even more specific. The small bridge in the park. Imagine, you on top, she at the bottom (or vice versa). " Romeo, why are you Romeo, Deny your father and give up your name; or if you won't, swear your love for me, and I'll no longer be a Capulet." Needless to say, the text needs to be adapted...

For the flowers
Saint-Gilles-du-Grand-Veneur Garden
I'm on the verge of not telling you about this garden with a thousand roses... But hey, I'm nice. Here it's roses everywhere: red, yellow, white. They are everywhere, filling this hidden little park with the scent of roses and an ultra-romantic atmosphere. "Yes" guaranteed!
Saint-Gilles-du-Grand-Veneur Garden
Rue de Hesse - 3rd Arrondissement
For the history buffs
On the oldest bridge in Paris
The oldest (and therefore the first) bridge in Paris is none other than the Pont Neuf! Built in the early 17th century, it also houses the capital's first sidewalk. It's a historical and beautiful spot to declare your love. And well, if they say no, at least you can tell them this story to keep the conversation going...

For those who love water
On a boat on the Canal de l'Ourcq
Thanks to Marin d'eau douce, you can rent a small boat without a license and sail on the Canal de l'Ourcq. A little tip, by the way: wait for the sunset, embark with your loved one on the water, and voila.

Bassant de la Villette - 19th
For the more rural
Rue des Thermopyles
Instead of making unnecessary trips to the countryside, here's a rather cool countryside alternative: the lush Rue des Thermopyles and its certain tranquility. If you're not too much of a Rive Gauche person like me, no problem, there are plenty of peaceful and green passages to explore.
