Your Romantic Valentine's Weekend

Friday: Arrival in Paris

Your dream weekend begins Friday morning when you step aboard our comfortable tour bus at your choice of Pulaski or Smith Barracks. Leave your worries behind as Army Outdoor Recreation whisks you and the object of your affections away to the City of Light! By the time you reach Paris, your Valentine's weekend will have officially begun. Nestled in a vibrant cultural district, your four-star hotel offers immediate access to the tree-lined Canal de l'Ourcq and a direct Metro line into the historic center. Check in, drop off your bags, and step out into the Parisian evening. You can share a romantic candlelit dinner of the legendary steaks served at Au Bœuf Couronné, the historic brasserie just steps down the street, find a quiet corner in a neighborhood wine bar, or take a moonlit walk along the water. The night is yours to enjoy.

Saturday: Curating Your Parisian Masterpiece

Wake up to a fresh hotel breakfast before designing a perfect day together. Your included Paris City Pass is your personal key to the city, giving you access to five incredible experiences during your three nights in the City of the Seine!

Selecting from a wide range of activities and attractions, you can design your own unique weekend. Will you wander hand-in-hand through the impressionist galleries of the Musée d'Orsay or Musée de l'Orangerie? Perhaps you’ll explore royal history at the Conciergerie or stand atop the Arc de Triomphe. You could also choose to see a classic Parisian show, rent bikes or take a hop-on hop-off bus for a full day of exploring, or take in a high-fashion runway show at Galeries Lafayette. The choice is yours.

Sunday: A Parisian Valentine's Day

There is no better place to spend the most romantic day of the year than in the most romantic city in the world! Use your Paris City Pass to make your Valentine's Day truly special.

Paris is full of romantic locations. Will you ascend the Eiffel Tower to the second deck to share a kiss over 100 meters above the city below? Or will you create a custom signature scent together at a Fragonard perfume-making workshop? Indulge your senses with a visit to the Museum of Chocolate or drift past illuminated monuments on a Seine River boat cruise with a glass of champagne.

As the sun sets on your perfect day, secure a cozy table for two, toast your love with an excellent French vintage, and watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle on the hour.

Monday: Au Revoir, Paris

Take your time enjoying breakfast at the hotel or grab a fresh pain au chocolat from a nearby bakery for a quiet morning walk through the beautiful Parc de la Villette. Soon, you will board the bus for the ride back to Germany. You will return home carrying the beautiful memory of a Valentine's weekend spent in La Ville Lumière with someone you love.
