Paris is the perfect destination for newlyweds, no country or city has a reputation for being such a romantic setting as the French capital. Maybe it’s the music, maybe it’s the mood, but whatever it is, Paris has some amazing things to see and do that make it the best place to be for a couple in love. The city has some of the most well-known tourist attractions on Earth; the Eiffel tower is one that no pair will want to pass up on visiting. Seeing the Arc de Triomphe and the amazing artwork of the Louvre are all fantastic experiences that you’ll be able to cross off your bucket list.
As well as the stunning architecture and magnificence of places like Notre-Dame, Paris has a wealth of culture and cuisine. You can explore alleyways and avenues that hide wonderful old buildings, and indulge in lovely local restaurants to satisfy your hunger even if you’re off the beaten track. Also, make sure you take the time to visit Parc Montsouris, a beautiful oasis of greenery in the middle of Paris that is a gorgeous place to spend some quality time together.
Stay Central
When planning your honeymoon break, a great ‘how to’ tip is to stay in the city centre. Paris is a huge city, and the most relaxing way to enjoy your days is to travel on foot. Stroll through Parisian streets at your own pace, and take it easy during your designated time together. Many hotels will claim that they’re located in Paris, which is technically true, but the journey into all the stuff you really want to see and do is either a long or expensive affair. Travelling in and out each day, usually a few times, can really make your time become a drag and won’t help you make the most of your stay. Therefore, make sure when you’re booking your accommodation that you check out the number of miles or kilometres that it is away from the city centre.
Quality Time

The next point when planning your honeymoon break is to remember is that you should try to book a week or more. With the abundance of great things that you can see and do in Paris, it’s important to remember to spread your activities and don’t try to squeeze too much into too little time. There’s so much to do in the capital that you could easily let yourselves get carried away, and you could have been so busy seeing the sights that you haven’t really seen each other! Plan your excursions well, and you get a beautiful balance of quality time, relaxation, and plenty of magic memories to bring back home with you.
Don’t Forget your Toothbrush
Step 1: make a list. Step 2: make like Santa and check it twice! Before you even set foot on the plane, it’s a great idea to make sure that you’ve got all the essentials, and planned for wet weather as well as warm. The weather in Paris isn’t as hot as the internationally famous French Riviera; in the north of the country the warmer seasons are reliable, but rainy spells might catch you out if you’ve only packed your shorts. It goes without saying that bringing your essentials and being thorough will help make your honeymoon as relaxed and enjoyable as it should be. The last thing that you want is your first week as a married couple to be bothered by bickering because you’ve forgotten something important.
Conclusion
Embarking on your honeymoon is often a once in a lifetime experience, and planning a great break is easy if you follow these tips. Doing things right first time is a rare occurrence, but a few simple steps are a sure-fire way to get your marriage off to an amazing start. Enjoy everything that Paris has to offer. Take your time, visit the places you dreamed of seeing, and make the most of all the great city has to offer on your Honeymoon Break in Paris.
