LIVE ‘LA RIVE GAUCHE’ IN PARIS!
Times have certainly changed but perhaps the most well-known of leap-year customs is that on February 29, women were traditionally encouraged to propose to men. This is believed to have been introduced in Ireland to balance the traditional roles of men and women in a similar way to how Leap Day balances the calendar. If you’re a stickler for tradition and decided to pop the question to the man in your life on February 29, why not whisk your beloved away to the most romantic city in the world? Immortalized in art, literature and film, Paris brims with old-world charm, oozes romance and has rightfully upheld its title as the City of Love. Lovers spending 24 hours in this intoxicating city, can stroll along the Champs-Elysees, enjoy a bottle of Chateaux Margaux in a cozy bistro and share a passionate embrace on the banks of the Seine. Choose from nearly 2000 of our beautiful Parisian apartments and start planning your 24 hours in Paris!
