How to choose a destination for your romantic weekend ?
First of all, you have to ask yourself the right questions. What are your desires? And desires for both of you of course! Here are some questions that might put you on the right track:
- Do you want to take the plane or the car? Indeed, the destinations differ according to the number of hours of transport. The car allows you a certain freedom when the train or the planes make you dependent on their schedules.
- Are you going for 2 or 3 days? We don’t spend as many hours on the journey for a 2 or 3 day stay. This can also guide you in the choice of transport.
- Will you stay at home or will you cross the border? Do you want to take off and disconnect until you speak another language during your trip? Or will you favor the simplicity, the authenticity of a stay in France? To discuss together…
- What will your budget be? This question will lead to the answers to the previous questions. Without a budget limit, you can afford everything, but more often than not, travelers set a budget for transport, accommodation, catering, visits, …
City, sea or countryside ?
What is your state of mind at the moment for your romantic weekend ? Do you want to isolate yourself in the countryside, sunbathe by the sea or visit a big city?
- The advantages of a romantic weekend in a city :
- Activities: you won’t be bored during an urban getaway. Visit of museums, temporary exhibitions, shows, shopping, … Enough to clear your mind and completely forget everyday life!
- Access: nothing is less certain. It will be very easy to reach a big city by plane, train or even by car. And on site, public transport or walking will even save you the car. Rather pleasant if you want to have a drink…
- Nightlife: in town, you will have a wide choice of restaurants, theatres, piano bars, or cabarets.
- The advantages of a romantic weekend near the sea :
- The suitcase: ultra light if you only plan to bring a swimsuit and sarong.
- Sea wind: there is no denying it, but the salty air is particularly exotic! To feel the slightly damp wind sweep through our hair and face the immensity. A feeling of loneliness for two that can turn out to be particularly romantic…
- Vitamin D: for a romantic weekend in winter, you may need sunshine and postcard landscapes. The rays of the Côte d’Azur will warm your skin and your hearts at the same time!
- The advantages of a romantic weekend in the countryside :
- Rest: the calm of the countryside is conducive to sweet words and rapprochements. Forget the frenzy of the city, take a book or chat with your dear and tender in front of a good cup of steaming coffee…
- A return to basics: walks hand in hand along the river, in the mountains or quite simply in the forest are a return to basics. Finally, you came for a weekend for two and nothing will tarnish the project. The song of birds, the trickling of water, as if nature were celebrating your duet…
- Alone in the world: in the countryside surrounded by nature, you will take the time. Time to breathe, to observe a magnificent panorama around you, and to relax. So much space for a rediscovered promiscuity.
Luxury, privacy or party ?
In addition to the location of your romantic weekend, there is the question of the type of weekend. And the answer basically lies in your personalities and always in the spirit of the moment.
- Luxury romantic weekend : imagine yourself in a suite with a spa and a bottle of Champagne in your jacuzzi. A breathtaking view, a gourmet meal concocted by a great chef and in the early morning, a dip in the outdoor pool, or even the indoor pool? Admit that would prolong the dream well…
- Festive weekend in glitter mode: go to a trendy bar or a roof top for an explosive cocktail, then head to a very prominent table in a popular address in the city. Enjoy the musical atmosphere and tease the dance floor until dawn. It is only when the first rays arrive that you will think of prolonging this eternal night at the hotel…
- Relaxing weekend in total privacy: opt for the anonymity of a big city and the intimate atmosphere of a small charming hotel, after leaving your table for two in a wildly romantic little restaurant. A walk under the moonlight, a jazz club and love in the background. You don’t need madness to be in love…
And why not Paris, the City of Love..?

Now that you know where to go for a romantic weekend, it’s time to think about where to sleep. Here again a wide range of accommodation opens up. Barge, bed and breakfast, apartment, hotel…
Choose a charming hotel in the heart of Paris
The hotel is, in our opinion, the best choice for a romantic weekend. Indeed, you certainly do not have in mind a romantic weekend with the program, dishes, storage, cooking … a hotel room comes with services.
At the hotel, you enter a clean room, with a well-made bed, welcome products and soft and comforting bath linen. In the morning, a breakfast is served to you without you having to lift a finger. You just have to focus on your other half and your romantic weekend.
Now, which hotel to choose? A design hotel, ultra modern and focused on technology? An atypical and conceptual establishment? Or a traditional and romantic boutique hotel..? Let’s go straight for the last one.
What is a boutique hotel?
A charming hotel is a small establishment on a human scale that smacks of authenticity and that departs from what can be found in a hotel chain. Thus, the charming hotel offers an atmosphere, quality materials and a privileged location. The charming hotel is perfect for a romantic weekend!
Romance in Saint-Germain-des-Prés and at the Hotel des 2 Continents

Saturday.
On Saturday, stop by the hotel and leave your suitcases in your room or in the hotel’s luggage room to fully enjoy your city break.

Sunday.
In the early morning, extend your privacy by requesting breakfast in your room. If you are lucky enough to occupy the only superior room with a balcony, you can enjoy your coffee on the rooftops of Paris. As you leave the hotel, don’t miss the delicate Place Furstemberg just two minutes away. Pure romance!! Stroll through the alleys of the 6th arrondissement during a romantic stroll on the lookout for the slightest historical testimony.
After lunch at La Palette on the terrace, walk up Rue de Seine to the Jardin du Luxembourg. Stroll along the statues of queens, take a seat on the mythical green chairs around the central fountain, and enjoy a melon ice cream while listening to the music played in one of the kiosks.
