Even though Valentine's Day just happened, it doesn't mean you can't go on a date in
Paris. Spring is just around the corner, after all, and though the most romantic day of the year has passed, there are lovelier days ahead. Flowers are blooming, the sun is shining, and it's the perfect time to go out. You and your special someone can do all sorts of things for a nice date. See the cherry blossoms, go to a theme park, get your portrait painted by street artists, and more. You'll find that Paris is at its most romantic every spring!
See The Cherry Blossoms
You don't need to go all the way to Japan to see the cherry blossoms. Many spots have
cherry blossoms in Paris, each more beautiful than the next. Come springtime, expect a glow of pink to blossom in Champ de Mars, the Trocadéro Gardens, Jardin des Plantes, Parc Buttes-Chaumont, and more. Champ de Mars is arguably the most enchanting of them all. The image of cherry blossoms against the Eiffel Tower is one you will never forget, and since the park is already one of the best places for a date, then you know you're in for a good time!
Try Karaoke
Much like seeing the cherry blossoms, going to karaoke is a more common date idea in Japan than anywhere else. So if you do it in Paris, you're in for a more unique and still romantic experience. Serenade each other in the many fun karaoke bars in the city. There are tons throughout the
20 arrondissements, all as bright and lively as ever. Be it the Concerto VIK Karaoke Box on Rue Suger or the Karaoke Box Bart on Avenue Hoche, you'll have no trouble finding a spot nearby. Reserve a room, order food & drinks, and sing away!
Sail a Boat in Bois de Vincennes
A typical date in Paris would typically involve a cruise down the Seine River. Cliche as it may be, it's a popular thing to do for locals and tourists alike, so it's pretty common and unoriginal. For a more one-of-a-kind springtime date in Paris, go row a boat in Bois de Vincennes instead. Most of the
parks in Paris have their own scenic lakes, but the one in Bois de Vincennes is a touch more magical. The mysterious Temple of Love on Lac Daumesnil in the middle makes the entire place look straight out of a fairytale. How's that for a romantic date?
Rent a Vintage Car
Did you know that you can rent a vintage car in Paris? Car rental agencies Vintage Escape and Paris Classic Car are just some that can lend you old-school automobiles. And this is yet another unique idea for a spring date in Paris! There's no denying that part of the French capital's famous romance is its old-world appeal. What more if you explore its idyllic cobbled streets and Hausmann building-lined avenues in a vintage Ford Mustang or 1950s Citroen model? Though it'll cost you a pretty penny just to rent them, rest assured that every cent is worth it!
Fly on a Hot Air Balloon
Renting a vintage car may be a fairly unique date idea in Paris, but a road trip throughout the city is not. If you truly want a spring date that lets you see the French capital in a different light, go on a hot air balloon ride instead! Ballon de Paris Generali lets you fly high in the sky in Paris. The balloon largely stays tethered throughout the ride but you still go high enough that you'd get to see the most famous monuments from a bird's eye view. What's not to love?
Visit The Most Unique Museums in Paris
Going to museums in Paris is far from unique and original. Tourists do it all the time, especially since the French capital is home to some of the most famous galleries in the world. So would going to museums be a worthy date idea in springtime? It is if you go to the more
unique museums in Paris. Check out Le Musée des Vampires on Rue Jules David, for example, and see all sorts of paraphernalia related to the famously fanged humanoid monster. Musée des Arts Forains is worth a visit too, especially if you want to see the whimsy of old-school French carnivals and fun fairs.
Play at a Game Bar
A classic date idea in Paris is having a game night at home. In your
luxury apartment in Paris, you can play board games, video games, invite other couples over, and more. A unique and original date idea, however, would be to go to a game bar in Paris instead. Oya, Le Nid Cocon Ludique, and Teddy's Bar are just some of the popular game bars in Paris. What's great about them is that they likely have games that you can no longer find in toy stores or specialty shops. You're sure to have a memorable date in these fun establishments!
Watch a Classic Movie
Going to the movies is another date idea that's not exactly original, even in Paris. Watching a classic movie, on the other hand, is. Think black and white Old Hollywood pictures starring legendary screen icons. Or French art house films from the 1960s and 70s. If you and your partner are both bonafide cinephiles, then seeing these sorts of movies will be the perfect date for you. Luckily, more than a handful of spots regularly screen
classic movies in Paris. Le Champo on Rue des Écoles, La Filmothèque du Quartier Latin, and UGC Odéon on Boulevard Saint-Germain are just some worth remembering for your next date.
Go Rollerblading
Riding your bike throughout Paris is so common, it's almost boring. It's become a common way to get around the city during your everyday lives, not exactly a unique idea for a date. So instead of cycling, why not go rollerblading instead? You can guarantee that there won't be a lot of couples doing it, even in the popular skate parks in Paris. At the same time, since rollerblades take up a lot less space than bikes, you can skate in places that two-wheeled vehicles wouldn't ever reach. How's that for uncommon?
Springtime in Paris is utterly romantic. The bright sunshine and floral-scented air are enough to get you in the mood. So if you want to go on a spring date in Paris, consider doing something unique and original!
