\"Ritz<\/figure><\/div>

Most of the hotels in Paris are open. Give yourselves a \u2018get away from it all\u2019 treat with an\u00a0overnight stay<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 especially if you can find a room with a view!<\/p>

The\u00a0Terrass\u2019\u2019 H\u00f4tel\u00a0in\u00a0Montmartre<\/strong>\u00a0will wow you with the panoramic view of the\u00a0Eiffel Tower\u00a0from its rooftop and its seductive special offer that includes\u00a0champagne<\/strong>, in-room dining, massage for two and breakfast in bed in the morning.<\/p>

On the\u00a0Champs Elys\u00e9es<\/strong>, the\u00a0Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e\u00a0offers a glimpse of the\u00a0Arc de Triomphe<\/strong>\u00a0while the\u00a0H\u00f4tel Brighton\u00a0features a unparalleled view of the\u00a0Louvre<\/strong>\u00a0and the Tuileries gardens (as well as a room-service menu signed Jo\u00ebl Robuchon).<\/p>

The\u00a0palaces are an excellent choice\u00a0if you\u2019re looking for\u00a0quality relaxation time<\/strong>\u00a0and luxury without having to leave the city. The\u00a0Lutetia, for example, has concocted a romantic couples\u2019 programme featuring special room decorations, in-room dining experience and delicious gourmet breakfast. To further awaken the senses, you can book a\u00a0massage<\/strong>\u00a0or a session in the\u00a0spa<\/strong>.<\/p>

La R\u00e9serve\u00a0is opening the doors of its magnificent mansion for a \u2018Romance, Dreams and Delights<\/strong>\u2019 night featuring an evening meal dreamed up by J\u00e9r\u00f4me Banctel, the\u00a0two-star chef<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0Le Gabriel<\/strong>, the hotel\u2019s restaurant.<\/p>

AN ARTY VALENTINE\u2019S DAY<\/p>

\"The<\/figure><\/div>

The\u00a0streets of Paris<\/strong>\u00a0are an art gallery in themselves. There are the magnificent fountains created by\u00a0major artists<\/strong>, such as the\u00a0Fontaine des Quatre-Parties-du-Monde<\/strong>\u00a0in the Great Explorers\u2019 garden, the\u00a0Stravinsky fountain\u00a0opposite the\u00a0Pompidou Centre\u00a0featuring sculptures by\u00a0Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle<\/strong>, and the Warsaw Fountains at the\u00a0Trocad\u00e9ro\u00a0opposite the Eiffel Tower. And you don\u2019t have to go into the museums or art galleries (although these are open at the moment) to admire numerous masterpieces.<\/p>

So, if you fancy an\u00a0arty romantic walk<\/strong>, stroll through the sculpture gardens of the\u00a0Rodin museum\u00a0then continue on to Jean-Michel Othoniel \u2018Kiosque des Noctambules<\/strong>\u2019, which frames the entrance to the Palais Royal metro station, just opposite the Com\u00e9die-Fran\u00e7aise. A few metres away, admire the famous installation Les Deux Plateaux, better known as the\u00a0Colonnes de Buren.<\/p>

And if you\u2019re planning to make a declaration of love, stop in front of the\u00a0Wall of Love in Montmartre. Created by Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Baron and Claire Kito this artwork consists of an entire wall of enamelled lava stone with\u00a0I love you<\/strong>\u00a0written 311 times in\u00a0250 different languages<\/strong>. A beautiful way of delivering a\u00a0Valentine\u2019s message<\/strong>!<\/p>

Amaury Bouhours<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0C\u00e9dric Grolet<\/strong>\u00a0of the\u00a0Meurice<\/strong>, for example, have perfected a five-course meal with champagne (orders must be placed before 12 February 2021).\u00a0The restaurants of\u00a0La R\u00e9serve<\/strong>, the\u00a0Prince de Galles\u00a0and the\u00a0Shangri-La\u00a0also propose some stunning dinner or brunch menus.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>
