Paris launches special Valentines Day offers

Paris is gearing up for an even more romantic February than usual by extending Valentines Day offers to the whole month.

Promotions by hoteliers, restaurateurs, travel specialists and leisure providers, normally only available on February 14th, will be valid throughout February.

Accommodation promotions include discounts of up to 30 per cent on room rates, complimentary breakfasts, and welcome gifts such as chocolates and champagne.

Restaurants will all have dedicated St Valentine menus, while cultural sites and shops have put together itineraries and events under the theme 'Paris for lovers'.

Some of the more unusual offers include tour company Explore Paris! providing a book to every couple entitled The best places to kiss in Paris.

Elsewhere, a guided tour of the Musee Maxim's art nouveau collection and lunch is reduced from €110 to €99, while a flight in a balloon for two out over the French countryside is reduced from €600 to €440 for week-day flights.

During the month, Paris will also play host to a wide-range of romantic music events, shows and exhibitions.
