The City of Love | Paris

Happy Valentine's Day Love Bugs! I apologize for the late post but am thrilled that I get to introduce to you the fabulous city of Paris on this wonderful day of LOVE. Paris, France is ranked among the three most important and influential cities in the world and is widely know as the city of true love. What not a better place to escape to on Valentine's day!

My most favorite part about this city is the look and feel it has at dusk. It is a gorgeous city full of elegance and class.

The two most famous and well know pieces of architecture in this city are the Arc de Triomphe and the infamous Eiffel Tower. As for the Arc de Triomphe, there is a beautiful terrace on the top where love birds are invited to admire each of the twelve avenues that stem from the monument. Paris is literally at your feet as you look out over the capital's historic avenues with views of the place de la Concorde, the Tulleries Garden, and the Louvre.

Another famous love spot is the Eiffel Tower. Undoubtedly Paris' must-see monument, the Eiffel Tower was built for the World Fair in 1889 and took two years to complete. Romance is found by taking a lift up to to the third level where you and your honey will be among the clouds with an amazing 360 views of the city. Perfect place to dine for any special occasion.

This city has even more to offer threw its endless museums, shopping, and cultural districts. The most famous museum of them all would have to be The Louvre. Widely accepted as the "museum among museums", The Louvre offers a wide collection of remarkable pieces of art spanning thousands of years. Famous for the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo and the Victory of Samothrace, The Louvre is a must visit.

After musuems and monuments, all over the world, when people think Paris, they think fashion. Parisians are known for their impeccable fashion sense and it is not surprise that Paris remains the reigning center of all things couture. One of Paris' major shopping districts, the Champs-Elysees neighborhood is home to both global and exclusive couture designers. On the Avenue des Champs-Elysees, you'll find worldwide upscale luxury brands as well as your everyday affordable chain stores.

To unwind after all the exciting places to visit while in Paris, I suggest you and your better half stay at the Le Meurice Hotel. Located opposite the Tuileries Garden, between Place de la Concorde and the Louvre, Le Meurice has remained known as the jewel in the crown of French luxury hotels since 1835.

Paris is a one of a kind city and a fabulous escape for love.

Until next time, au revoir and happy Valentine's Day!
