As a honeymoon destination, Paris is an oldie but a goodie!  Known internationally as the city of love, honeymooners from all over the world flock to Paris to celebrate their nuptials. 

There are several ways to explore Paris, no matter what your budget is.  Sure, you have the mainstream hotels like the Ritz, the Hilton, and the Westin, but these hotels usually start at about $400USD a night, while not offering the space that you would expect in the USA.  Instead, try a fab boutique hotel that will offer you a little French flair.  At places like the Opera Cadet, the Duminy Vendome, or the Le Six hotel, you will get an intimate feel for half the price.  And these smaller hotels often have the best locations for exploring the city, without too much noise.  Another great option, especially if you are thinking a nice long getaway of 8 nights or more, is renting an apartment.  Our company, AMT American Express Travel, offers the comforts of an apartment, such as kitchen, living area and separate bedroom, and combines them with hotel comforts like daily maid service, concierge service, security and breakfast.  You can rent an apartment for as little as $900 a week!

And don’t forget, there are a lot of little known tricks to seeing all of Paris that your friendly neighborhood travel agent (ehem…) can book for you to save time and money.  One of the best examples are the Paris Viste Metro Pass, available for 2 or more days, that will allow you unlimited access to the Paris metro system.  Let me tell you from personal experience that this will be your best friend while touring Paris!  Another important pass is the Paris Museum Pass, offering you access to the BEST museums in Paris, including the Louvre.  This is nice because it saves you time, in that you will not have to wait in long lines to buy or pick up tickets, and money, so that you pay less for the pass, allowing you unlimited access for 3 or more days.

And again, remember that there are a lot of little experiences that can really turn your honeymoon into a trip of a lifetime!  I always recommend our Paris tour, City of Lovers.  This tour starts with dinner at the exclusive and hard to get Le 54 Restaurant at the Eiffel Tower.  Dine by candlelight with your new spouse, while viewing the sights around the Eiffle Tower.  After dinner, board our City of Lights cruise down the Seine, which passes the glories of the lit Muse de O’rsey, the Louvre, and Notre Dame.  After the cruise, a bus takes you for the late show at the Moulin Rouge, and includes a half bottle of champagne each!  This tour, a full 7 hours out  on the town starts at $350 per person, and includes all your food, a selection of beverages, and all transportation!
