What to do and where to park in Paris for Valentine's Day in 2023?
If you want to celebrate a memorable Valentine’s Day with your loved one(s), we recommend many plans that can be for your interest :
For the romantic one
A must in Paris for Valentine's Day is to go on one of the famous cruise boats (“bateaux mouches” in French) to enjoy the splendid view and monuments of the city with a good meal. The cruises last on average 1h30-1h45 and consist of two services: The first one from 18h15 and the second one around 20h30-21h. To make a choice you have many options depending on your budget, the time of the cruise or the type of boat and formula. The boats mainly leave from Swan Island near the Eiffel Tower or near the Alexander III bridge. If you decide to take the first service, you can park at the Grand Garage de Passy as it is closing at 9pm and is about a 20 minutes walk away from the Swan Island (“Ile aux cygnes” in French). If you decide to take advantage of the second service, you can park at the Parking Claridge Champs-Elysées which is located about twenty minutes from the landing stage near the Alexandre III bridge, which is open 24 hours a day. Let yourself be guided along the Seine and reserve your parking space next to the nearest boarding platform.
