Place de Furstemberg in Paris

The best way to visit Paris is on foot and subway. Use the subway to move from one spot to a distant other. Otherwise, just walk. While walking, never forget to raise your eyes. Interesting niceties will pop at you which are rarely noticed by those who only look at eye level.
For romancing the love of your life, certain places have these very special qualities which will set them apart in your memories of togetherness. At the top of my list is Place de Furstemberg. From the plaza of the St Germain Church, walk toward the Seine and Rue Bonaparte. Turn right into Rue de l'Abbaye. Follow the street to the first short alley on your left. Turn and you end up on Place de Furstemberg. French painter Eugene Delacroix had his studio there, and this makes an interesting spot to visit during daytime. However, Place de Furstemberg takes a whole other atmosphere at night. It is quiet, isolated, and sort of private. The nearby abbey lends it a historical feel. Sitting under the trees, the wooden benches welcome eternal lovers.
