Coffee shops in Paris just give off those romantic vibes. Besides, who can say no to hot chocolate and macaroons? I would say, visiting a Parisian cafe is a must-do activity for any couple.
2. Enjoy the serenity at Square Jean XXIII Park
Situated right behind the Notre-Dame Cathedral, this park is a perfect stop-over to relax on a bench and take a break from the hustle and bustle of Paris. In spring, this is a must-visit because the cherry trees bloom in pink!

We love how a simple walk along the Seine river can also be a beautiful and timeless memory of your engagement.
4. Cuddling in the bed of your Parisian apartment
Do an at-home session by shooting in right inside your apartment. Embellished with details, a Parisian architecture in the background and Parisian breakfast, croissant and coffee, the photos will be super intimate with the romantic touch of Paris!
5. Strolling on Pont du Alexandre III during sunset
An intricately decorated bridge, with a beautiful backdrop. You can see the golden dome of Les Invalides and the Grand and Petit Palais on the other end. The most famous bridge in Paris is a grand work of art and worthwhile to shoot at.
6. Experience the streets in the art district of Montmartre
Monmarte is a well-known art district filled with romantic ambience. Being on a hilltop, you can get a fantastic view of Paris too! Since you are there don’t forget to visit Sacre Coeur – another iconic Paris monument.

8. Ride on a carousel
There are a few carousels that located across Paris. Our favourite, The Le Carrousel De La Tour Eiffel is conveniently located close to the the Eiffel Tower. These merry-go-rounds brings will definitely bring some romantic fun to your photos. After all, isn’t love a carousel with its ups and down?
9. Shop like a Parisian at Galerie Vivienne
Galerie Vivienne is a hidden gem in Paris. This sheltered shopping street also doubles up as a fantastic location if it turns into a rainy day. Built in 1823, this well-maintained shopping arcade features an elegant glass canopy above and an intricate mosaic detail on the floor. Perfect!
10. Catching the best view of the Eiffel Tower at sunrise
