HOW CAN PARIS ENHANCE YOUR ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP?

This book is absolutely not suggesting you come to Paris and begin an affair in the hope it will enhance your marriage or relationship! But it is important, if you are going to be visiting Paris and exploring the romantic aspect of the city, that you have some sort of understanding of French cultural specifics and attitudes toward the different facets of romantic love. That being said, I would truly feel overjoyed if the only contribution this book brought to your life was to make your romantic relationship even more alive thanks to the activities suggested in the second part of the chapter.

My own experience of romantic relationships is that, ironically, the more you love someone, the less erotic the relationship becomes (unless you make eroticism a shared priority for the two of you). I believe this is because we need certainty in patterns of behavior to build trust and have a successful relationship. Unless you make sure that playfulness and surprises thwart that, these reassuring and repeated patterns of behavior are often what kills romance.

But how to spice up our relationships? Well, a vacation is a good place to start. And Paris is definitely the best playground for that. Let’s look further into all the ways a visit here can reinvigorate both you and your relationship.

First, I recommend you satisfy any of your desires and not what is socially accepted as the must-see-and-do in Paris. A romantic outing does not necessarily have to be dinner and a movie (though it certainly could!). Romance is subjective, and what might truly satisfy one might be incredibly dull to someone else. Not to worry, though, because in Paris, you will find an astounding selection of activities that you and your partner can partake in. There are all the things you’d expect to find in a world-class city: opera houses, museums, galleries, live music, fashion department stores, and excellent restaurants. If you’d prefer something a little more off the beaten path, though, you might want to check out a burlesque show, or try tangoing on the Seine, where experienced and novice tangoers alike meet around the mini amphitheaters in the 5th arrondissement to dance during the summer season.

Also, I would like you to know that Paris is one of the best cities to explore on foot, and public transportation is available every five hundred meters (see chapter 2 for suggested walks across the city). While you might be tempted to plan out your excursion and equip yourself with a map and an itinerary, you might find yourself having more fun if you grab your partner and just go, with no plan other than to take a stroll and enjoy whatever comes your way. This meandering could lead to any number of adventures that you might not otherwise have encountered. You’ll find long, wide avenues where you can walk hand in hand without getting pushed or jostled by other pedestrians, even on the busiest of days. You might
