Discover the Best of France’s Honeymoon Destinations
Paris
A honeymoon in France feels incomplete without a few days in Paris. Often called the City of Love, Paris is the most romantic place in France. It is the perfect backdrop for some heartfelt conversation with the love of your life. Witness panoramic views from the Eiffel Tower at sunset or cruise the river as Paris lights up around you. Don’t miss a stroll along the stunning streets of Montmartre and end the day with a cosy dinner in one of the city’s candlelit bistros.
The French Riviera
The legendary Côte d’Azur has forever attracted couples in search of the sun and sea views. Towns like Antibes, Saint-Tropez, and Cannes are where glamour meets ease. Along these pebbled shores, afternoons stretch into golden evenings, and there’s always a table waiting for two. Enjoy a leisurely lunch by the harbour after a quiet swim in the clear Mediterranean waters. For decades, the Riviera has held the title of one of France’s top honeymoon destinations.
Provence
Provence calls to couples who prefer solitude and open landscapes. The region’s lavender fields, gentle hills, and timeworn villages create a peaceful setting. Hilltop towns like Gordes feature wide vistas and calm surroundings. The earthy colours of Roussillon’s cliffs add a painter’s touch to the land. Those drawn to art will recognise the light and forms that once stirred Van Gogh and Cézanne. Spend unhurried days browsing village markets, tasting wine under the sun, or sitting in shaded squares.
El valle del Loira
The Loire Valley feels like a page out of a fairytale. Châteaux with spiralling turrets rise from wooded hills, vineyards roll across gentle landscapes, and quiet villages line the Loire River. Visit Château de Chambord, glide over the valley in a hot air balloon, or take a lazy bike ride past sunflower fields. Couples can enjoy wine tastings in Chinon, picnic under orchard trees, and settle into the rhythm of a countryside made for romance.
