Well, I am sure there are many of you out there who have their own idea of what the romantic City in the World is. Perhaps it is not the City but the person you are with.
Me..? I have just spent some very restful days in Paris in a sublime hotel overlooking the Montmartre cemetery, with the searchlights of the Eiffel tower shining straight into the room.
Champagne.
Strolling along the fountain sides of the Trocadero at midnight with the floodlights illuminating the Palais de Chaillot. A whole day spent in the Musee d'Orsay surrounded by magnificent sculpture, incredible art and fantastic Art Nouveau room settings and furniture.
An evening on the Seine travelling below bridge after bridge after bridge past Notre Dame and back to the spectacular Eiffel Tower, with a superb meal to follow in an excellent boulevard restaurant / bistro.
A night in the Moulin Rouge, with Champagne again (what else?) and...
Sigh!
Fuck I haven't felt like this since the last time I was in love.
Romantic City? Certainly felt like the most romantic City to me, but then the person I was with was...Incredible.
Anyone else found Paris has / had this effect on them?
We called in Paris on our way back from Benidorm by coach and the hotel we were taken to was atrocious, a top room, cramped, couldn't open a window, room service non existent, price of drinks exorbitant, in a dirty industrial area, traffic noise all night, couldn't sleep, "Romantic" ? a big fat zero, never again, Thanks but no thanks!!!
