Romantic weekend on Paris Left Bank

The Left Bank has always been the lovers' bank. Its cobblestones glistening in the rain, its bridges over the Seine and its café terraces have inspired generations of writers and poets. For a romantic weekend in Paris, no neighbourhood can rival Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and Hotel Villa Madame is the ideal gateway to it.

The hotel offers 28 rooms and suites in an elegant, contemporary style, with white orchids and a secret garden, creating an intimate atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The concierge team will be delighted to organise your evenings: restaurant reservations, access to a private exhibition or even a cooking class for two.

For your first romantic evening, begin with a drink on the terrace of the Café de Flore before dining at one of the gourmet bistros on rue Saint-Benoît or rue de Buci. There is no shortage of addresses, from traditional French fare to creative cuisine.

The next morning, stroll side by side through the Luxembourg Gardens , have lunch in a tearoom on rue de Tournon, then continue to the banks of the Seine for the classic Parisian couple's walk. Even without its padlocks, the Pont des Arts has lost none of its romance, with its view of Notre-Dame and the Institut de France.

In the afternoon, a visit to the Musée d'Orsay , a 15-minute walk away, is a must for some quiet time with the Impressionists, before heading back to relax in the inner courtyard of Hotel Villa Madame, glass of wine in hand, far from the hustle and bustle of Paris.

To make this weekend even more memorable, Hotel Villa Madame regularly offers special romantic getaway packages. Check our availability and let Saint-Germain-des-Prés work its magic.
