It covers a wide green area with steep levels and with a height offering a brilliant view of the city. It is a wonderful place for visitors to sit and soak in the morning sun rays and breathe in the fresh air for a good start to a beautiful day. Having deep and long conversations sharing all the fears, love and experiences is always a desire for couples. This place may be the right one to do so.
2. Breakfast at Les Deux Abeilles
After a healthy start to your V Day, it’s time for some sweet indulgence. The Les Deux Abeilles, barely 900 meters away from the Eiffel Tower, offers the most cheerful atmosphere and an appetizing array of breakfast meals. You can pick your options from scrumptious cakes, puddings, and tart. If you are craving for some healthy salads, this place will not let you down. Have a decent time with your partner at this café sipping some morning tea or coffee and make the plans for the rest of the day.
