I am heading to Paris over the July holiday and will be proposing - any suggestions on good spots ?
|||
Take the tour boat from Pont Nuef, it%26#39;s an hour long.
Near the end of the boat ride, the guide explains how the boat is about to go under a certain bridge and the custom is to close your eyes and make a wish as you go under and kiss the person next to you and your wish will come true. Then your wish will come true. Pop the question then. If she says no you%26#39;re only stuck on the boat another 5 minutes.
I don%26#39;t know if other, more romantic, boats tell the legend of wishing when going under the bridge. The boat above is not terribly romantic.
|||
Is an engagement ring involved? I%26#39;d be worried about ways to lose the thing, on a boat, off the Eiffel Tower, etc. Don%26#39;t forget property insurance.
|||
How about on the ramparts of the dome of the Basilique de Sacre Coeur? That%26#39;s a pretty place that%26#39;s more private than a boat tour if privacy %26amp; reflection are more in your characters than public spotlight. Climb up into there to see the sunset.

I would say make sure you are seeing the Eiffel tower during the first ten minutes of each hour : after dark like from ten to ten past ten, i think the most romantic is to be on Pont (bridge) Alexandre III, very decorated, very romantic and from there you have a view to the Eiffel tower. Congratualtions!

Hello!!
How EXCITING!
Well, I think the best plan is to HAVE a PLAN. And my plan suggestion for YOU is to have several places/locations lined up for the day, as any tourist would, naturally. What SHE does not know is that each and every spot you take her to, on THE day, will have been hand chosen by you as potential proposal spots. If for whatever reason you are overwhelmed with nerves at one spot, or the timing is wrong, or too many people, etc...you can just take a deep breath and move along to the NEXT fabulous proposal site! You know, don%26#39;t box yourself into a corner, thinking thoughts such as: Well, I just have to propose NOW because THIS was the spot I planned on! (panic panic!!) Plan a day full of proposal sites and feel like the confident man you know yourself to be. (Dang I%26#39;m good!)
I%26#39;ll put in my two cents for a proposal spot...lunch at the restaurant Le Charles Des Illes in the park Bois De Boulogne (on an island on the lake, named %26quot;Lac Inferieur%26quot;) Then after dinner take her on a stroll around the perimiter of the lake, heading south. You will find a small waterfall there, and a bench and perhaps you will feel that THIS is the perfect place to drop on a knee and ask for her hand!
Start gathering everyones %26quot;spots%26quot; and make an itenerary for the day!

The name of the restaurant in Bois de Boulogne is %26quot;Chalet des iles%26quot; actuallly (sorry to correct you Lascass).
I agree with Raphy that the most romantic place to propose is Alexandre III bridge. When you will see it, you will know that this is THE place!!
|||
What a lovely reply, Lasscass. Truly.

Are/were you perhaps in the Military? My brother-in-law is an
Annapolis Grad and flew an F14 in the Gulf War. He took my
sister to Paris for Valentine%26#39;s Day and surprised her with a ring on top of the Arch du Triomphe. They said it was so romantic.
However, he later said he picked there as it is a memorial to the Fallen Soldier!
As others have pointed out, the weather and time of day would
be a factor; I would have one indoor spot planned.
|||
Go inside Palais Royal. There is a lovely garden there with benches. Sit there and then pop the question. I know someone else who did this, and they are married today. A very romantic place without a ton of tourists.
However, Ron Steward proposed to his fiance on top of the Eiffel Tower on bended knee (number 4?), so this is pretty romantic. You will have to stand in line quite a while, unless you have a reservation at Jules Verne, which he did.

The top of the Eiffel tower!!!
