Paris: The City of Romance

For me, time in Paris is a stroll arm-in-arm with someone you love down the Champs- Elysées, a shared glass of wine at a cozy outdoor café, a leisurely cruise down the River Seine, or a lingering moment at a Van Gogh in the Musée d'Orsay.

However you choose to spend your time in Paris, the City of Light will illuminate a place in your heart like no other. Romance is as common here as a smile from a stranger. Is there a more beautiful way to say "I Love You" than in the French language? Je t'aime is at once lyrical and sensual. French is, without question, the language of love. Surely Parisians must think of their city in the same terms as visitors, n'est-ce pas? (don't you think?) While they may not acknowledge the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre or the Cathedral of Notre-Dame on a daily basis, they are most certainly a source of national pride. And there are few in the world that haven't heard of these symbols, and many more have been fortunate enough to have seen them in their lifetime.

Paris should be on every traveler’s wish list. Click here to read more about the ‘City of Romance’ on RTM.
