The City of Light is also the city of love. Whether you’re strolling along the Seine hand-in-hand or enjoying a candlelit meal at a cozy bistro, the romantic ambiance is hard to ignore. For a view of the Eiffel Tower and lavish amenities fit for a king, book a room at the Shangri-La Hotel. Take a walk through the peaceful Palais-Royal, Paris’s most secluded garden. For unparalleled views of the city and fairytale sunsets, climb the steps to Sacré-Coeur.

One of the prettiest cities in France, Colmar is in the Alsace region in the east of the country. The most famous area is near the river, and is full of wonderful timber framed buildings and colourful facades. It also has a special area called La Petite Venise which is particularly nice to see and photograph.
