France is one of the countries with which we associate romance and love. When one thinks about a wonderfully romantic weekend away together as a couple, one immediately thinks Paris. However, there are lots of other places that are equally if not more romantic that the capital city. Read on to discover some of our top proposal spots in France.
1. Paris – The “Je t’aime” Wall
This first spot can be found in the centre of the French capital, Paris, the city of love.
