    PARIS LE MEURICE One Day Itinerary: Romance Paris and Romance Have Been Synonymous for Centuries

    PARIS LE MEURICE One day itinerary: Romance Paris and romance have been synonymous for centuries. While the idea of an amorous retreat to the City of Light may not be terribly revolutionary, it’s a cliché for a reason. Whether wandering in centuries-old public parks or taking a horse-drawn carriage ride through the city, couples eager for both intimacy and adventure have much to discover with this one-day itinerary. Start the day with a romantic carriage ride through the city with Paris Calèches, just 15 minutes from the hotel by taxi. PARIS CALÈCHES T: 06 62 20 24 88 | East Pillar of the Eiffel Tower, 5 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris A calèche – or a private, horse-drawn carriage – is one of the lovelier ways to take in the Paris sights. For couples looking for a relaxed journey past some of the city’s most famous landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower and Champ de Mars, Paris Calèches provides an intimate way to explore (accompanied, if you so choose, by a bottle of Champagne and sweet treats). After your carriage ride, take a taxi for the 20-minute journey to the Jardin du Luxembourg. JARDIN DU LUXEMBOURG Rue de Médicis-Rue de Vaugirard, 75006 Paris Unfolding across almost 25 hectares, the magnificent Jardin du Luxembourg is one of the city’s most beloved public spaces, and has been since Marie de Medici created it in the early 17th century. Comprising English and French-style gardens, orchid-filled greenhouses, apiaries, orchards, ponds, and sculptures, the park offers plenty of space to get lost in during a romantic stroll.

  • Place Saint-Michel the Place Saint-Michel Is

    Place Saint-Michel the Place Saint-Michel Is

    Place Saint-Michel The Place Saint-Michel is simple – a triangle between two streets, uniform buildings along both, designed by the same architect, a walk of smooth cobblestone. The centerpiece is St. Michael defeating a devil; far above them are four statues symbolizing the four cardinal virtues of prudence, fortitude, temperance, and justice. This monument came to be because of the 1848 Revolution and a cholera epidemic in Paris that followed it which killed thousands. This idea of abstract concepts given human form had been popular during the Revolution, the big one, representing the kind of big virtues – like the Four Cardinal Virtues – that everyone could strive for, instead of a single human being whose actions and legacy would turn people against each other. Simultaneous with the creation of Place Saint-Michel, Napoleon III’s renovation brought the Boulevard Saint-Michel into being, and that is the next part of our walk. Facing the fountain with the river at your back, walk on Boulevard Saint-Michel, it’s the street to your left. Walk away from the river along that street. Ultimately, you’ll be turning left on Rue des Écoles, but it’ll be about five minutes to get there, and you can listen to the next track on the way. Boulevard Saint-Michel The character of the street you’re on – wide-open space lined with trees and long, harmonious buildings, plus, often, a view of some landmark in the distance – was a central part of the renovation plan, or the Haussmann plan, as it’s also known.

Delegates travelling on European Union member country passports do not require visas to enter France. All other participants should check with the relevant French diplomatic or consular mission on visa requirements. If a visa is required, it is your responsibility to obtain it before travelling to France. If you need a formal invitation to support your visa application please contact the Statistics Directorate well before the meeting.
