<span class="s1">A mere mention of <b>France</b> evokes romance and love. There are many perfect destinations to choose for your <b><a href="http://www.roadtotravel.com/tours/honeymoon/france-honeymoon-packages/" target="_blank">France Honeymoon Packages</a></b>. Here are just a few of ideas to inspire you.</span></div>

<span class="s1"><b>Paris</b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Is there any other city in the world that is as romantic as <i><a href="http://www.roadtotravel.com/tour/france-honeymoon-packages/paris-honeymoon/" target="_blank">Paris</a></i>? It is often called the City of Love – and for good reason: charming cafes, grand boulevards, elegant bridges across the Seine River, intimate boutique hotels – all these are perfect settings for an unforgettable honeymoon. On a sunny day, you can pick up fragrant French cheeses, fresh baguette, wine, some delicious pastries and head to a quiet spot in the Bois de Boulogne park or Champ de Mars with views of the Eiffel Tower. In the evening stroll along the Canal St. Martin, hop on a boat cruising the Seine River or sit in corner of a small bistro for a candlelit dinner. Before you leave the city, make sure you visit the "I love you" wall in Montmartre where the phrase is written over 1000 times in 300 languages</span></div>

At the central square, <i>Place des Lices,</i> you can watch old local men playing pétanque. Every Tuesday and Saturday a local market sprawls across the square where you can buy anything from seasonal fruit to antiques. If you do not feel like wondering around the crowded stalls, take a sit in the famous old <i>Le Café</i>, sip a coffee and watch the bustling crowd.
