artwork hangs on the
walls, delicate lace
decorates the carpet,
and mirrors are placed
above the bed. And
don’t forget: all the
bedrooms in the hotel
are soundproofed…

Paris is set to turn into a
carnival spectacular on
10
February. Starting at
2
pm, the Promenade du
Bœuf Gras parades the
streets between Place
Gambetta and Hôtel de
Ville. For a lovers’ twist,
follow the sounds of
the musicians, jugglers,
street performers and
dancers on a bicycle
made for two hired
from Freescoot (
144
Boulevard Voltaire;
freescoot.com
).

Photo op
For the perfect
Parisian panorama,
take off in the world’s
biggest air balloon at
Parc André Citroën.
Reaching altitudes of
150
m, it provides a
lift that means your
cityscape snaps will be
unsurpassable. The
Ballon Air de Paris
(
Parc André Citroën;
tel: +33 (0)1 4426 2000,
ballondeparis.com
)
is
weather dependant, so
call ahead to make sure
it’s flying.

Buy this
Leave your mark on
Paris by purchasing
a padlock and head
on down to Pont de
l’Archevêché. Engrave
it with your initials,
lock it onto the bridge,
throw the key into the
river and – so they say
–
your hearts will stay
joined forever. A picture
of your lovelock makes
a heartfelt souvenir.
