It may seem a bit clichéd to go to Paris for Valentine’s Day but that doesn’t stop it being incredibly romantic too.

Jump on the Eurostar or nab some last minute plane tickets and surprise your other half with a day-trip to the lover’s capital.

Buy a one-day Vélib’ (the Boris Bike of Paris) ticket for just €1.70 and explore the entire city on two wheels.

Don’t miss: Notre Dame, the Sacré-Cœur, the Eiffel Tower and the Pont des Arts bridge.

If you decide to stay for the whole weekend, pedal out of the city on a day-trip to the Palace of Versailles or for a longer ride cycle all the way to Monet’s House and Gardens in Giverny.
