Bath & Body Works Signature Collection PARIS AMOUR Fine Fragrance Mist 8 oz / 236 mL

Product Information

I tend to rotate between small and medium rooms, often travelling alone for business, and each time has been a pleasant surprise as no two rooms are the same. Each one features a completely different theme and colour palette, and feels more like a livable room in someone’s home unlike the stiff neutral palettes of larger hotel chains. Although I don’t consider myself a very romantic person, I have to admit that I think Paris is a pretty romantic city. I think it lives up to its reputation of being one of the most romantic cities in the world, and there is no other place quite like it. Like most Head for Points readers, I anticipate that choosing a chain – whether airline, hotel or restaurant – brings with it a degree of consistency, expectation and, of most interest to us, a reward structure. I admittedly do fall victim to the latter, but can’t help feeling sometimes that hotel rooms and lobbies begin to blur together with their stylistic similarities. Can we not agree that if you were to be teleported into one of these rooms you may very well not know what city you are in (without obvious tell-tale signs like the view out your window or dial-out instructions on the phone)? Many romantic movies have been shot in Paris. Some famous examples are Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulin, Before Sunset, Moulin Rouge, Midnight in Paris and La Mémoire dans la peau. In recent years, the series Emily in Paris has also become immensely popular.

Earlier Haneke films have dealt with a casual, motiveless murder in Benny's Video, and the indiscriminate shooting of a crowd in 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance. But Amour examines dying, a process that is more protracted and much more upsetting to watch. There is less drama here, because the decay is predictable and wearily gradual. All the same, the climax of Amour is a scene that takes you by surprise and leaves you numb. Of course, you will find this phrase in French, English, Spanish and other major languages, but rare languages like Bambara, Inuit and even Esperanto are also represented. The historical sentinel representing the loss and triumph of war is unmissable on your trip to Paris. Breakfast – delicious! – can be served up French sweet or English savoury. The downstairs restaurant in the early hours serves as a great hot desk to start your day, maybe even host a more casual meeting and by the afternoon the French ambiance inevitably takes over as the red wine begins to flow. In the evening the atmosphere loosens and a delicious full menu and bar are at your disposal.There is also the opportunity to walk up the stairs to a 30m-high walkway along the top of the arch, which is the perfect place to get an unbelievable panoramic view of Paris! There are plenty of things to do at the temple of love, you can sit by the riverside, you can take a romantic boat ride to reach the temple and you can visit Bouchardon. 8. Wall of I Love Yous

Arc de Triomphe is one of the most popular pieces of architecture in Paris, it stands at the western end of Champs-Elysees at the centre of Place Charles de Gaulle. The road Champs-Elysees that leads to the monument is one of the most famous streets in Paris. For that very reason I have a few favourites when I am travelling, and the Hôtel Grand Amour in the 9th arrondissement of Paris is one of them. Most notably, the experience far outweighs any opportunity costs that large hotel chains may offer by way of points. No free continental breakfast and newspaper, but instead a homely Parisian ambiance. Romanticism can be found in many art forms. This includes paintings, sculptures, literature, theatre, music and architecture. Returning to the hotel after a hard day’s work you will find the café you left in the morning converted into a relaxing (albeit lively) place to have a fantastic meal with what feels like locals or frequent visitors – instilling a sense of community that has made me a repeat visitor. Keep safe and hope to see you there soon!

Paris is unquestionably a city for lovers, and it has been a privilege and a delight to discover so many of its wonders by his side— Mary Mcauliffe Note that the Arc is free to look at and free to walk under. It is only climbing the platform that incurs a fee, and entails a bit of queueing. To complete this itinerary in a single day, you may wish to skip climbing the platform. These novels have become famous throughout the world, which only contributed to Paris’ reputation as a romantic city. 11. The I Love You Wall The I Love You Wall

Come to this train station and enjoy a hearty meal with elegance along with your lover. Although the restaurant is one of the costliest restaurants in Paris, it’s worth it. You can either simply stroll through the gardens with your beloved enjoying the scenery or you can visit the Luxembourg museum.Insider Tip:You can’t take a large bag or suitcase with you because they can damage the fragile interior. It is also not wheelchair accessible because of the many stairs.
