Romantic Ideas please?

Hey there, I hope you guys can help me!

I%26#39;m off to Paris with my boyfriend at the end of Feb and would really love to organise something while we are there - he is taking me as a treat and i want to say thanks! We head over at the end Feb and are only there for the weekend so not much time.

I was thinking maybe dinner on a boat/ cruise or dinner somewhere realy nice or maybe a helicopter flight over the city. Not really sure but i would like it to be special.

I wish it wasnt, but money is a concern and i couldnt be too extravagant.

I REALLY do appreiciate any advice you might have for me!!

Planes are not allowed to fly over Paris. I don%26#39;t know for sure about helicopters.

How about a segway ride in the evening when you can see the Paris lights (including the twinkling Eiffel Tower)? This is so much fun. As you pass by, people on the streets look enviously at you and sometimes ask how they could get to do this. People of all ages do it. They take you out in small groups of 6-8 people. You will really have fun.

Contact Fat Tire Bikes or viator.com (they both get you to the same tours but occasionally one has a better price than the other).

I don%26#39;t think it is necessary to be extravagant in Paris. The entire city is so romantic and wonderful. You don%26#39;t need to spend a fortune.

Mr Romantic here. NOT!

I%26#39;ve been to Paris many times with lovers. Often the best times were spent going for a walk. That said one thing that does stand out in my mind is a sunset cruise on the Seine. We chose Baton Mouche because we didn%26#39;t want dinner, but there are many choices of cruise boats.

I believe that this is the correct spelling, but I can%26#39;t find a web site.

For my wife and me nothing beats an evening boat ride on the Seine. Bundle up if you go in February. We always ho on out last night in Paris and it%26#39;s just magical.

Another of our favorites is to organize a picnic at the Eifel Tower at sunset. Bread, wine, cheese and a pastry or two can be gotten cheaply. Find a bench at the north end of Champ du Mar, spread out your feast and tell him how much you love being in Paris with him. As you watch the sunset and see the Tower aglow, if you don%26#39;t feel a special bons with your fella...you got the wrong fella!

This is my opinion and I could be wrong. It happens a lot.

bons=bond. Darn fingers.

I have to preface this by saying, as I previously said, that simple is best in Paris. But anyway, here is a viator.com site for a more expensive and fancy way to be romantic.

Take a walk around monmarte at sunset. there is a very romantic view fom the sacre coeur at sunset. If you get the metro to abyesse, you walk around the corner and up the street a little and get the funiculare up to monmarte.

An evening ride on the Vendettes, you can find them on the left bank just west of Pont Neuf. Try to get one that leaves on the 1/2 hr. That puts you in front of the Eiffel Tower at the top of the hour for the 10 minute twinkling. They cruise west to the back of Notre Dame, which I think is the prettiest and most romamtic view in Paris.

Gosh thank you all so very much. Lots of ideas there...my boyfriend wont know what hit him!!

Cant wait now...only 18 sleeps to go!

I have to agree with the trip to Montmatre and Sacre Coeur Basilica.

The narrow cobble streets just seem to ooze history and romance. Go mid evening for a meal as it will be a little quieter. Walk around to the Basilica about 9:30 ish there is ussually a real buzz with the likelihood of buskers singing on the steps. The views across the city at night are memorable with the Tower sending out its %26#39;search light%26#39; in the distance.

For that something special, you could get one of the street artists to do a drawing of both of you!

My spouse and I did something spontaneous and very romantic at Notre Dame. We stood in the church with people milling about, and we quietly and unobtrusively renewed our wedding vows.

I realize you%26#39;re not married, but it was one of the most romantic things we%26#39;ve ever done anywhere. As we%26#39;re returning to Paris in May, we%26#39;ll have to come up with something to top it, so I%26#39;m also keeping an eye on this thread.

(FYI, we%26#39;ve been married for 38 years)
