The Eiffel Tower is on the list of landmarks to visit for every couple in love planning a trip to Paris.

And as we know, fairy tales are full of love stories. Us girls crave the romance of these stories for the rest of our lives.

It feels unreal to be in such an atmosphere with your loved one. There are many picturesque spots to take photos on the street, trying some of the famous French macarons, at the Sacre Coeur cathedral, or Place du Tertre where you can actually have your portrait drawn! One of the less known spots for pictures is the Musee de Montmartre and its three Renoir Gardens offering beautiful vineyard views.
