Morning... It will take you at least nine months to view every piece of art in the Louvre, but the clever arrangement of exhibits into thematic sections makes exploring the museum more accessible. Couples in love should definitely follow the Mythical Love Story of the Great Aphrodite, where during this one and a half hour of a fascinating love journey you can see the depiction of the love pangs of famous literary heroes, for example, such as Eros.

The banks of the Seine are very beautiful and make Paris even more seductive. From the Louvre you can take a leisurely stroll along the river bank to the islands of Ile de la Cité and Ile Saint-Louis. Then, cross the Seine on the Pont de Archevêché (Archbishop's Bridge), the narrowest bridge in Paris, where couples attach locks as a sign of eternal love and throw the key into the river. Stock up on a love lock and key in advance and this romantic touch will remain in your memory forever.

Who among us doesn’t love ice cream, and lovers are ready to eat it without counting the calories? Ile Saint-Louis is famous for its incomparable Berthillon ice cream. Sometimes it is very difficult to choose from 70 flavors. Pear sorbet or salted caramel can be enjoyed at Maison Berthillon (29–31 Rue Saint-Louis en l’Île), or in retail outlets throughout the island, such as Le Flore en l"Ile, where you can taste surprisingly delicious croissants. (42 Quai d'Orléans).

Afternoon... The father of French romanticism lived in the building where the National Delacroix Museum is located today, until his death in 1863.

Strolling along Rue Mouffetard in the Latin Quarter, filled with stalls and food shops, you'll be left feeling hungry by the aromas of Androuet cheeses, which you can buy vacuum-packed to take home. And what about juicy macaroons with raspberries or black currants and divine-tasting Mococha sweets? Here you can also buy cute trinkets for your home (51 Rue Mouffetard).

In the Latin Quarter is the amazing restaurant Le Coupe Chou, which is a very romantic place with candles and vines, in the style of the 17th century. The ceilings, antiques and overall ambience, as well as the dishes on offer, such as meat bourguignon, reflect the essence of the French village in the center of Paris. Marlene Dietrich once loved to dine here (9 & 11 Rue de Lanneau).

Evening... Before sunset, in the small garden-museum Musée de la Vie Romantique, at the end of the cobbled Lane, at the Hôtel Scheffer-Renan, you can visit an intellectual museum dedicated to the life and work of the writer Amandine Aurora Lucille Dupin - (better known as Georges Sand), the museum is full of paintings and artefacts (16 Rue Chaptal).

Chocolate is an art, and this can be fully experienced in the Marais, in the Chocolaterie Joséphine Vannier boutique. Edible creations made from chocolate, including musical instruments (saxophone, piano, violins and electric guitars) and shoes (high heels and other shoes) look too good to eat. On weekends you can enjoy delicious cookies here. (4 Rue du Pas de la Mule).

We recommend ending your day in Paris with a romantic evening at Le Vieux Belleville bistro at the top of the Parc de Belleville.

Among the most romantic corners of Paris, we have chosen those that are absolutely worth a visit.

The theater's activities began immediately after Louis the 14th recognized opera as an art form. Originally, Opera Garnier was named after the Royal Academy, which taught dance and music. The name Grand Opera came to it only at the end of the 19th century.

People buy tickets here in advance because there are too many people who want to see performances in which the most famous theater groups from different parts of the planet participate.

If you want to start romantic trip to Paris from its heart - start with the Grand Opera.

This Parisian avenue is glorified in songs, paintings, plays and films. Although it acquired its name only after the French Revolution.

The Champs Elysees have always been significant place for Parisians. But under Louis the 16th it’s unlikely a common person I would have risked walking along Champs-Élysées - it was too dangerous on the Champs-Élysées in those days. And already in 1810, Empress Marie-Louise entered the capital in style through this avenue. Over time, the Champs Elysees became one of the symbols of power and the city as a whole. When the Cossacks of Alexander I took Paris 2 years after World War II, they set up camp on this avenue.

Massive construction of the avenue began only in 1828, and in 1836 the Arc de Triomphe appeared.

Today the Champs Elysees is the main street of the city. Life is in full swing here around the clock: parades and exhibitions are held here, musicians play, aromatic coffee is served in oldest restaurant Avenue (Le Doyen) and sell fashionable clothes, etc.

For more than 7 centuries, one of the oldest palaces in France - and one of the most famous museums peace.

The Louvre began at the end of the 12th century, when Philip Augustus built a fortress, which subsequently underwent constant additions, reconstructions, etc. With the kings and eras, the Louvre was constantly changing - each ruler brought something unique to the appearance of the palace. The palace was finally completed only at the end of the 19th century. However, it is still being rebuilt, trying to extend the life of this most beautiful corner of France.

The French-American couple are the owners of Pink Flamingo, a stylish little company that describes its brand as “comme les autres” on its pizza box. Truly, this is a pizza delivery experience you won't forget.

P.S. There are good boutiques in the area, especially on the Rue des Marseillais.

There are two places where you can eat oysters without worrying about the freshness of the food: L'Ecailler du Bistrot, a five-star seafood restaurant with a very simple but charming setting (pictured above). Located on Rue Paul Bert, this is one of those quaint French bistros.

And the less classic, more fashionable Clamato, which serves only seafood.

Come in the evening at 7 to have time to grab a place for two. The menu changes constantly, depending on what type of oysters and seafood are in season. The cafe is not cheap, but you will never come across poorly refined food.
