If Paris is considered one of the most romantic cities in the world, it’s because it’s the perfect setting for a romantic stroll. Between historical monuments with dazzling architecture, romantic dinners at the most beautiful restaurants, and walks hand in hand along the Seine, Paris is the ideal destination for a romantic weekend.   Visit Montmartre with your other half A romantic weekend in Paris will never be truly successful if you don’t plan to come to Montmartre. This charming district of the 18th arrondissement is a must-see. Lovers love to stroll through the cobbled streets of this village-like corner of Paris and soak up the bohemian atmosphere. The walk will guide you peacefully to the Sacré-Coeur basilica, which you can also reach with the little train of Montmartre, from where you will enjoy a magnificent view of the roofs of Paris. At random, you will discover the Place des Abbesses and its Wall of “I love you”, so symbolic and so romantic. Not far from there, the famous Place du Tertre plunges you into a more artistic atmosphere, where the portrait artists will allow you to bring back a small souvenir of your romantic escapade. The Museum of Romantic Life, installed in the former home of the painter Ary Scheffer, keeps the magic of the place alive, while the restaurant Mère Catherine ensures a romantic evening with a view of Paris. If you are looking for a more typical address of the old Montmartre, it is at La Bonne Franquette that you will have to reserve a table.   A romantic walk in the Marais In the 4th arrondissement, the Marais district is also one of the must-see places to visit with your partner. Mostly known for its trendy and festive side, this historical Parisian district is also full of charm. Along the narrow streets, the old monuments and the private mansions make the beauty of the place. You will then have the opportunity to cross and visit sites more romantic than the others: the House of Victor Hugo, the place of Vosges... When it comes to romantic restaurants, the Marais district is not short of good addresses. You can impress your loved one at the starred gastronomic restaurant Qui plume la lune, unless you prefer the more relaxed and cosy atmosphere of the Parisian bistro Café Charlot.   Take a romantic stroll through the covered passages of Paris Did you know that in the 19th century, the city of Paris had more than 70 covered passages? These small galleries, intended to protect the well-to-do Parisians from the world and the bad weather, are only 21 today, but one always finds there a secret and charming atmosphere, favourable with the romantic stroll. In the 2nd arrondissement, the covered passages take the form of shopping alleys elegantly covered with glass. You will be able to walk there hand in hand, and to impregnate you of this typical atmosphere of the Belle Époque. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, these small passages are ideal for strolling and the gourmet addresses are always an opportunity to experience a moment of relaxation and pleasure. Among the covered passages, we note the Galerie Vivienne and the passage des Panoramas. If Paris 2 shelters many of them, one also finds many covered passages in the 9th district.   Walk the paths of the Champ-de-Mars park At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the Champ-de-Mars park covers nearly 25 hectares and invites you to relax in a magical setting. Under the benevolent eye of the Iron Lady, the largest green space in Paris is composed of immense lawns interspersed with perpendicular paths. A real invitation to relax and stroll. Then, the winding paths lead you into the nooks and crannies of the park, with the French garden on one side and the English garden on the other. The whole is laid out on a green space planted with trees, where birds, ducks and swans flourish at our side without even seeming to notice us. As you walk through the park, you will come across various bronze statues of the greatest names in French history, including the bust of Gustave Eiffel, the famous engineer who created the Eiffel Tower. It is also an opportunity to discover the history of the park, which opened in 1780, after having seen a succession of vegetable gardens, vineyards, and a maneuvering field for the French army. Open 7 days a week, day and night, the park is ideal for evening strolls in love, and perhaps you will have the chance to cross paths with an owl.   Climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower What could be more romantic than to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower, to admire the view of Paris, and look together in the same direction? Then take one of the 4 elevators to stop at the different floors, or choose to live the unique experience of climbing the tower by the stairs. On the first floor, the glass floor offers an incredible sensation, while on the second floor, the view of Paris begins to emerge. At the top, the noise of the city fades away, and you are cut off from the world, living a unique adventure with your loved one. And for a romantic dinner with a panoramic view of Paris, you can choose between the Madame Brasserie, on the first floor, or the gastronomic restaurant Jules Verne, on the second floor.   Other romantic walks in Paris Of course, there is no lack of ideas for romantic walks in Paris, and if you are lucky enough to be able to enjoy the beauties of the capital for a longer period of time, several romantic sites will seduce you: the Pont des Arts, also called the lovers’ bridge, the Latin Quarter, the Ile de la Cité, the Canal Saint-Martin, the Luxembourg Gardens… The romantic atmosphere is everywhere in Paris, and assures you to live an unforgettable weekend with your loved one.   The Hotel du Cadran, a stone’s throw from the romantic places of Paris To prolong the pleasure of a romantic trip in the heart of the capital, the 4-star Hotel du Cadran welcomes you in a modern and cosy setting.

The Eiffel Tower is often the focal point of all tourist visits. So, if you are lucky enough to stay at the Hotel du Cadran, near the Iron Lady, here are some ideas for a Parisian stroll around the Eiffel Tower.   The essential Eiffel Tower Let’s start our walk with the mythical Eiffel Tower. This iron building, more than 300 meters high and designed by the architect Gustave Eiffel, stands out as the most beautiful and most emblematic of the monuments of Paris. At its feet, its imposing appearance will impress you, but it is by climbing to its different floors that the experience will be unique. From the first floor to the top, the monument offers you a panoramic view of all of Paris, which you won’t get anywhere else. Extend the experience by offering yourself a small glass at the Champagne bar, or by tasting the cuisine of the chef of the starred restaurant.   The Champ-de-Mars park Let’s continue the visit at the feet of the Iron Lady, in the Champ de Mars Park. This large green space, open day and night to visitors, is ideal for strolling and relaxation. But it is also an essential place for major national events. Stretching to the Grand Palais Éphémère and the Ecole Militaire, the park is the ideal place to relax, take a walk, and even have a picnic. You will then have an incredible perspective on the Eiffel Tower. In the evening, the twinklings of the tower finally offer you a moving spectacle of beauty.   The National Hotel of the Invalides Let’s stay in the 7th district of Paris, towards the Hotel invalid and its imposing golden dome. Built at the end of the 17th century, on the initiative of Louis XIV, this building now houses the Army Museum, the tomb of Napoleon I, as well as 2 churches and 2 other museums. But its primary purpose is, and always has been, to welcome disabled soldiers who fought for France. Let yourself be carried away by the beauty of the architecture, then take a walk on the Esplanade des Invalides, which slowly guides you to the banks of the Seine.   The Louvre Museum and the Tuileries Garden Let us now cross the Seine, and set off to meet the Louvre Museum, and its famous glass pyramid, in the first district of Paris. With more than 33,000 works of art, including immense masterpieces, such as the Mona Lisa or the Victory of Samothrace, the Louvre is the most visited museum in the world. In its extension, the Tuileries garden is a French garden where it is pleasant to stroll, between the fountains and the statues. Why not rest for a moment on the green metal chairs, before continuing our walk?   The Champs-Élysées, from Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe At the end of the Tuileries gardens, in the 8It is arrondissement of Paris, you come across the Place de la Concorde, and its famous luxor obelisk, built by Ramses II in the 13It is century, and offered to the city of Paris by the Viceroy of Egypt in 1836. Then borrow the Champs-Elysees, the most beautiful avenue in the world (nearly 2 km), and walk along the luxury boutiques and gourmet restaurants to the Triumphal arch. On the stone of this building, you can read the names of the generals and the battles of the revolution and the first empire. Under the arch, the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the flame of Remembrance to all the French who died on the battlefields.   The Trocadero gardens Let’s continue our way heading towards the Seine, to reach the Trocadero gardens, in the 16th district of Paris. Here, nearly 100,000 m² of green spaces welcome you and offer you a new perspective on the Eiffel Tower. Built for the Universal Exhibition of 1937, the Trocadéro gardens dominate Paris. In their center, you will discover the famous fountain in warsaw, whose 20 water cannons are beautifully highlighted by a colorful water show. If you walk through the gardens, you can also admire several breathtaking sculptures.   The most famous bridges in Paris To take this little walk, and easily get from one bank of the Seine to the other,paris bridges are numerous, and some stand out for their history and beauty. The bridge of Arts The Bidge of Arts, between the Louvre and the Institut de France, and the first bridge in Paris. But he is best known for being the lovers’ Bridge. Indeed, until 2015, all lovers from all over the world went there to hang a padlock on the footbridge, and throw the key into the Seine, a symbol of eternal love. Since then, the padlocks have been removed, as their weight threatened the structure of the bridge. The Alexander III Bridge Linking the Invalides to the Petit Palais, the Alexander III Bridge is listed as a historical monument. Built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900, it is the most emblematic bridge in Paris, and stands out with its 4 pylons 17 meters high representing the Arts, Sciences, Commerce and Industry. Tourists like to meet there to take photos, because it offers an exceptional view of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. Bir-Hakeim Bridge Built later, during the 20th century, the Bir Hakeim bridge stands out for its two-storey architecture. The first floor is reserved for metro line 6, and the second floor is dedicated to vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. From the bridge, we discover another exceptional view of the Iron Lady. Under the bridge of Bir-Hakeim, the island of swans begins and extends along the Seine to the bridge of Grenelle.   Your Cadran hotel near the Eiffel Tower To take full advantage of our little stroll around the Eiffel Tower, we recommend that you plan 2 beautiful days.

The 7th district of Paris is best known for housing the Eiffel Tower, many museums, as well as emblematic monuments of the capital. This rather posh district was then an essential tourist center during a stay in Paris. Let’s see together everything that is possible to do and visit in this district of the City of Light.   Admire the Eiffel Tower Many tourists travel to Paris just to see the Eiffel Tower. So, when passing through the 7th arrondissement, it seems unavoidable to stop there for a few moments, even several hours. La Dame de Fer, from the top of its 324 meters, imposes itself in front of you and impresses with its presence. You can then climb to the different floors, before reaching the top, where a breathtaking view of all of Paris will put stars in your eyes.   Stroll along the Champ-de-Mars and visit the Ecole Militaire At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the Champ de Mars Park stretches to the Grand Palais Éphémère, and invites you to observe the Iron Lady from a dazzling angle. This long walk is an invitation to relax, and allows you to take your most beautiful photos of the Eiffel Tower. A little further on, on Place Joffre, the Military school, built during the reign of Louis XV, brings together all the higher military training organisations. Although it is only open to the public during Heritage Days, its imposing facade is worth the detour.   Explore the Esplanade des Invalides On the left bank of the Seine, opposite the Alexandre III bridge, the Esplanade des Invalides stretches and invites you to discover the Hotel invalid. This imposing building, built in 1678 at the request of the Sun King Louis XIV, was initially intended to house wounded and disabled soldiers. Today, the Hôtel National des Invalides retains its function as a hospice, but it also houses the Army museum, the Museum of Order and Liberation, as well as two churches, one of which houses the tomb of Napoleon I.   Take a walk on the Quai d’Orsay Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is only open to the public during heritage days, the passage on the Quai d’Orsay remains a must. From the banks of the Seine, you can then see the prestigious palace built in 1844. Devoted to diplomacy and foreign affairs for more than 150 years, its splendor has the sole objective of seducing foreign emissaries, and it is a mission accomplished. .   Visit the Hotel Matignon If you have the luck (and the patience) to get to the Hotel Matignon during the Heritage Days, you will not only discover the residence of the French Prime Ministers. It is also a mansion in the baroque style of great beauty, with one of the largest private green spaces in the capital (3 hectares).   Stroll along rue Cler Located a stone’s throw from the Champ-de-Mars park, the rue Cler is a popular pedestrian street where we find a commercial and dynamic Parisian life, with shops, restaurants and bars. Between tradition and modernity, this 428-meter street is lively, and makes you discover the French way of life. Our Hôtel du Cadran is located a few meters from rue Cler.   Visit the different museums of Paris 7th arrondissement If the monuments of the 7th arrondissement of Paris already occupy a good part of your Parisian stay, the museums are also numerous there. The Orsay museum Entirely dedicated to Impressionist art, the Orsay Museum is renowned worldwide for its collection of paintings, photographs and sculptures from the Western world, between 1848 and 1914. This former Paris train station also offers an atypical setting in the heart of Paris. The Maillol Museum In this Parisian museum, sculpture is in the spotlight, and more particularly the works by the sculptor Aristide Maillol. Created in 1995 by his wife, this private museum is hidden behind an astonishing facade of a private mansion. We find there, of course, the sculptures of the artist, but also his drawings, his paintings and his tapestries. Twice a year, the museum also organizes temporary exhibitions highlighting the different artistic movements from 1900 to today. The Rodin Museum A stone’s throw from the Hôtel des Invalides and the Eiffel Tower, the Rodin museum brings together all the works of the famous sculptor Auguste Rodin. Nestled in an 18th century private mansion, surrounded by a huge 3-hectare garden, this museum is probably one of the best known in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. We find there the major works of the artist, such as the Thinker. The Quai Branly Museum – Jacques Chirac Entirely dedicated to non-Western culture, theQuai Branly Museum brings together more than 3,500 works from Asia, America, Africa and Oceania. On the banks of the Seine, the imposing architecture imagined by Jean Nouvel and the elegant garden are a call to curiosity and relaxation. One of the largest museums in Paris, the musée du quai Branly also has a café and a gourmet restaurant.   Contemplate the Palais Bourbon Symbol of the French Republic, the Bourbon Palace imposes itself on the left bank of the Seine and houses the 577 deputies of the National Assembly. The building, created in 1728, evokes the architecture of the Grand Trianon of Versailles, and will be modernized throughout its life. The colonnade, which makes the beauty of the monument, dates from the Napoleonic era, and many artists intervened to embellish the building, such as the painter Eugène Delacroix.   Discover the street art of Paris 7 Admittedly, the 7th arrondissement of Paris is not the best known district for street art. However, some memorable frescoes were created there, and in particular in the rue de Verneuil, on the facade of the former residence of Serge Gainsbourg. Moreover, it is a little further, at number 14 rue de Verneuil, that will open, during 2023, the Gainsbourg House. And if Paris 7 is not famous for street art, it is nevertheless here that we find Fluctuart, the world’s first urban art center floating on the Seine.   Stroll along the quays of Paris 7 Between the Pont d’Iéna and the Pont du Carrousel, the 7th arrondissement of Paris is bordered by the Seine. The which of Seine then offer more than 2.5 km of walks in a peaceful pedestrian area.
