I love being a companion for dates worldwide, but there is something magical about an escort date in Paris.
When someone says, ‘Are you available for an escort date in Paris’, the only possible answer is a resounding oui, merci!
I wouldn’t want to be disloyal to London, one of my favourite places for a fun day out — but is there anything better than waking up to a coffee and a croissant? I love finding a sweet little Paris café for breakfast and people watching. C’est tellement parisien! The architecture, the elegant tree-lined boulevards, the Seine…
Things I love about paris
I am such a sucker for a city with a charismatic river, and the Seine doesn’t disappoint. The bridges, the art galleries set just off its banks, the way the streetlights sparkle off the water — c’est magnifique. That view from the Pont Neuf when the sky is dark and the city is bright… it’s just lovely.
And the other thing that Paris has: little islands! A perfect spot for an escort date in Paris, I just love sipping wine on a square on the Ile de la Cité, enjoying our lunch while locals play games of boules and pétanque.
The ARt Gallery escort date in Paris
You know how I feel about an art gallery date, and in this area, Paris is practically unmatched.
The Louvre is, of course, superb, but the building itself is so vast that I always find it a bit of a mission to march through. I think you could easily spend the best part of a week there and still not see everything. My top pics are Venus de Milo, and Théodore Géricault’s absolute masterpiece, The Raft of the Medusa. And, of course, a certain Miss Mona Lisa by… some unknown Italian.
My other top arty things to do in Paris are the Musée Rodin, for The Thinker and the gorgeous sculpture gardens; the Musée de l’Orangerie, chiefly for the calming, bright white space of that Monet room, but also for the beautiful walk through the Jardin des Tuileries.
My very favourite place, though, is the Musée d’Orsay, which holds the world’s largest collection of Impressionist work. Housed in an old train station, it is one of the most spectacular gallery buildings in the world.
Food, Etc.
When it comes to food in France, I just can’t get enough of French cheese and wine. Boeuf bourguignon is one of my favourite dishes; I love croque monsieur (or madame), steak frites, anything with a French sauce. Garlic, butter, herbs — sign me up. I have to say that the one thing I’ve never fancied trying is escargot. But I’m here for the rest of it!
And you know the other thing I love about Paris? The Eurostar. I am a huge fan of a train journey. I will go anywhere if there is a train. (Another of my favourite train journeys is from Boston to New York — such a pretty view of the coast along there.)
One more thing to round up our little weekend itinerary: Catacombs — a must for any history fans, or anyone interested in the Paris of times (thankfully) past. The eerie underground labyrinth is truly a unique experience, and is chilling in more ways than one. Ghoulish, unforgettable.
And as much as I enjoy being pushed outside my comfort zone and experiencing new things, I also love to be in a place where I know the language — did you know I speak fluent French?
We’ll always have Paris...
So what do you say? I’ll hold your hand if you get scared in the catacombs…
