You’re ready to pop the 4-word question and smartly decide to propose in the most beautiful city known to mankind. Yet, it can be a little nerve-wracking to plan a romantic, heartfelt Paris proposal from thousands of miles away and in a foreign country.

The most memorable engagements feel authentic and consider the unique relationship you share with your partner; it’s about effort, chivalry, and creating a fun-filled day with seemingly endless beautiful mini-experiences.

The best places to propose in Paris.

Public Eiffel Tower Proposal

We will be the first to discourage you if you’re considering proposing on the Eiffel Tower or in one of its two restaurants. Many curious bystanders would surround you. Plus, getting engaged on a wrought-iron tower does not even sound romantic. Hey, the entire idea of an Eiffel Tower proposal is to actually see the 324-meter-tall Iron Lady in your pictures, right? So, instead, consider where your partner might feel most comfortable. Here are four tried-and-true public Eiffel Tower locations.

I’ve worked with many photographers over the years, and Cengiz is definitely the #1 in Paris! Cengiz, you managed to memorialize our client’s amazing wedding proposal—I cannot wait to work with you over and over again.

A proposal at Trocadéro

Choosing to propose in Paris, especially at the Trocadéro, with the Iron Lady in the background, guarantees an exceptional WOW Factor and incredibly eye-catching photos. However, Trocadéro can be busy with crowds, vendors, street performers, and events. The best time to propose at Trocadéro, Paris, is undoubtedly sunrise. Still, you’ll need to be creative to shake your partner out of bed early and have her look fabulous without giving away the surprise. Note: the central plaza (Parvis des Droits de l’Homme) and the platform’s right and left flanks are no longer under construction.

Famous Eiffel Tower marriage proposal spot along the River Seine

Seine River Proposal in Paris

More private than Trocadéro, our preferred Seine River location is as close to the wrought-iron lattice tower as you can propose. The approach to getting to the perfect spot can be challenging in high heels. This setting benefits from ambiance-enhancing embellishments, such as candles & lanterns, a sumptuous red carpet, rose petals, a master musician, and perhaps oversized “Marry Me” letters. The Seine River proposal works most of the day and evening except when a nearby wall casts a shadow on your setting while the sun brightly exposes the tower.

Best Eiffel Tower marriage proposal spots Bir-Hakeim Bridge

Bir-Hakeim Proposal

A rain alternative to Trocadéro, Bir-Hakeim spans the Seine River and works thanks to its distinctive architecture and stunning Eiffel Tower views. Whether you propose on the metallic bridge or its connected peninsula, sunrise is your best bet since pedestrians share the lower level with motor vehicles. Overall, Bir-Hakeim seems better suited for an engagement photo shoot than for proposals.

Paris proposal at Avenue de Camoens

Avenue de Camoens Proposal

Another fantastic Trocadero alternative—notably during Fashion Week, when you want to avoid cranes and construction—Avenue de Camoens is a charming cobblestone street in the posh 16th arrondissement of Paris. What used to be a little-known, picturesque proposal location with “La dame de fer” as your backdrop is increasingly one of the more popular photo spots in the City. Note that the lighting can be tricky mid-day and early evening.

Private rooftop proposal Paris

A private rooftop proposal spot is not always prettier than its public alternative. Yet, significant advantages accrue to those who privatize their setting:

  • Complete control over who has access guarantees privacy;
  • Better management of light, sound, and décor set-ups, which by extension affect the five senses and ambiance;
  • Considerable timeline flexibility ensures a stress-free experience.

Kiss Me in Paris is hands-down the best. This year, I decided to ask my girlfriend to marry me. I had planned every detail, but literally two days before our engagement, the company I initially hired canceled on me. Imagine how I felt, having spent so much time planning, renting a car to bring friends from Amsterdam, and preparing myself for such a life-changing moment. But then there was Chantelle, my guardian angel! Our warm welcome call gave me hope we could still pull this off. And pulling off, we did! Chantelle arranged everything, including even better proposal ideas. I swear I couldn’t have asked for a better companion. Merci, Chantelle!

Shangri-La Hotel Proposal

Look no further when you want divine privacy and ridiculously intimate Eiffel Tower views. Situated in the posh 16th arrondissement, the Shangri-La Hotel is synonymous with sumptuous luxury, traditional Parisian charm, and outstanding service. To get engaged at the Shangri-La, you need to rent a suite with a terrace. Note, however, that the hotel’s suites are not created equal. Enlist an experienced proposal planner to take care of planning and logistics.

Winter-white Peninsula Hotel Paris Proposal

Peninsula Paris Proposal

Established in 1908, the Peninsula is one of Paris’s most in-demand Palace hotels. Expect exceptional service, luxurious accommodations, and breathtaking Eiffel Tower views. Different from the Shangri-La, you do not need to book a suite at the Peninsula to propose there. Instead, you rent the hotel’s spectacular rooftop terrace, Secret Table. Enlisting a top-notch proposal planner to help with coordination and logistics is almost obligatory. All you need to decide is whether you only want the Secret Table for your proposal or also to enjoy an extraordinary private dining experience afterward.

best private rooftops in Paris for marriage proposals

Marignan Champs-Elysées

Another centrally located 5-star Parisian hotel rooftop terrace with dazzling views of the Iron Lady. Ask your proposal planner to personalize the space for you. Then, have a private butler serve your first Champagne as newly engaged.

Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris Marriage Proposal

George V, Paris Proposal

When you’re after the most exclusive rooftop in Paris, “The Penthouse” by the Four Seasons Hotel George V offers magical 360-degree views of the City—only recommended for a healthy proposal budget. An experienced planner is a must.

Private Paris rooftop proposal with Paris proposal planner Chant

The residential rooftop terrace on Rue Copernic

Pinned countless times, this unique residential rooftop on Rue Copernic dazzles with enchanting views. The terrace is one of the largest in town. As such, expect endless opportunities to personalize a special ambiance tailormade to your partner’s preferences. As with any residential rooftop, you’ll need someone to coordinate the logistics and guide your partner up onto the rooftop where you await.

Champs Élysées private rooftop proposal Eiffel Tower views

Champs-Elysées residential Eiffel Tower rooftop terrace

Overlooking one of the most famous avenues in the world, this remarkable Champs-Élysées residential rooftop offers expansive views of the City, including the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and Montmartre. Its spacious terrace can easily accommodate numerous vendors and even your family. However, as with any residential rooftop, logistics are more complicated, and the approach is less luxurious than, say, with a Palace hotel. A planner is essential.

Unexpected places to propose in Paris.

When you fly your significant other to the City of Love, she may already know a romantic proposal is coming. Still, in addition to effort and chivalry, everyone loves an element of surprise. So, how do you catch your sweetheart off-guard? One idea is to not propose near the “Iron Lady” (even if the tower is visible from a distance). Nearby castles or vineyards make for splendid unexpected proposal spots. But, say, you’re after something more central or quintessential Parisian. Consider an intimate picnic in a picturesque park or a sunrise engagement before the iconic Louvre Pyramid.

Vincent is absolutely amazing. Words cannot describe how grateful my now fiancée and I are to have had him take our surprise proposal photos in Paris. He’s simply so passionate and went beyond the call of duty to help me prepare for the perfect proposal. It’s not an overstatement to say I gained a friend for life.

Unexpected places to propose in Paris: Alexander III Bridge

Midnight in Paris on Alexander III

Among Paris’s most ornate and famous bridges, Alexander III photographs well any time of day and night. Suppose you can shake your soulmate out of bed before sunrise. Then consider a relaxed stroll to watch the most beautiful city in the world wake up and pop the question when you arrive in the middle of the bridge. Alternatively, when you want to maximize the hours as freshly-minted fiancés on your proposal day, a romantic Midnight in Paris engagement with the lights of the Eiffel Tower twinkling in the distance is hard to beat.

Most romantic places to kiss in Paris Luxembourg Gardens

Luxembourg Gardens Proposal

A romantic place of natural beauty, the Luxembourg Gardens will charm you with idyllic lawns, tree-lined alleys, and the historic Medici Fountain (the best entrance to access the fountain quickly is located at Rue de Médicis and Rue de Vaugirard, near the Odéon Metro station). Bring a blanket and delight your loved one with French wine, cheese, and the quintessential Parisian baguette. Then snuggle to soak up the verdant scenery as you share a timeless kiss of equal parts poetry and passion. Verify the opening hours and arrive when the park opens to beat the crowds.

Romantic Paris Scavenger Hunt Proposal with private yacht Eiffel

Private Yacht Seine River Proposal

A scenic private Seine River cruise is one of the logistically most challenging and expensive Paris proposals. Still, the lucky few who can afford it should look forward to a mind-blowing experience with unforgettable views of the City of Lights. Picture exiting the cabin to a ship’s deck covered in a sea of roses, a master violinist serenading your partner with her favorite song, and chilled vintage Dom Pérignon. Did we mention that your private yacht will pull up right in front of the wrought-iron lattice tower? Can you imagine a better place to ask your partner to marry you? Such an elaborate engagement is only possible with an experienced local event planner.

Louvre Museum Proposal

The iconic museum is among the most recognizable monuments in the world. Sure, you’ll need to show up early to beat the crowds. Yet, this stunning glass-and-metal structure is fantastic when you’re after the WOW factor and something different from the Eiffel Tower. A Louvre Pyramid proposal works well when combined with engagement pictures. After she says “yes,” enjoy a yummy café, capture bigger-than-life portraits along the former love lock bridge (Pont des Arts), or take a romantic stroll in the idyllic Tuileries Garden.

Quiet places to propose in Paris

While the City of Love is known for its bustling streets and lively cafés, it also offers superb quiet places to pop the question. If you can afford a fabulous hotel suite with sufficient space for a photographer to tuck away discretely, go for it. Otherwise, consider the dreamy Tuileries Garden or Montmartre.

OMG, Scander is an artistic genius! He was such a joy to work with. Scander simply has wonderful energy; he’s patient, creative, and a lot of fun. He gave easy-to-follow posing directions, so even my fiancé, who typically does not like his photos taken, felt comfortable. Best decision ever!

Where to propose in Paris: Tuileries Garden

Tuileries Garden Proposal

With the Louvre as a backdrop, the Tuileries Garden Esplanade is one of the best-kept secrets for couples who value privacy but still want to capture the essence of Paris. This tree-lined alley is remarkably quiet and works all day. But verify the park’s opening hours and coordinate with your Paris photographer.

Quiet places to propose in Paris Montmartre sunrise

Montmartre Proposal

The highest point in Paris, Montmartre, is known far and wide for its lively cafés, eccentric artists, and light-hearted joie de vivre. While this spot offers spectacular City views, it should only be considered “quiet” at sunrise. We recommend combining your romantic proposal with a fun engagement photo shoot while you both are on Cloud 9. Montmartre has dazzling photo spots like La Maison Rose, Le Consulat, Sacré-Cœur, and many picturesque cafés along the Place du Tertre square.

Royal wedding proposal in a French castle

How many people can say they spent their first night as fiancés in a magnificent castle near Paris? Imagine your partner’s reaction as you enter one of the most remarkable chateaux in France—whether by helicopter or luxury limousine.

Dream French castle engagement

A sleek butler welcomes you with chilled Armand de Brignac (Ace of Spades) Champagne before transitioning into what your partner believes will be a chateau tour. Shortly after, you excuse yourself to answer a “phone call,” and that’s when we kick off the scavenger hunt of a lifetime.

Juliana immediately made my fiancée and me very comfortable. She shot the most beautiful video reel—it looks straight from a movie. We were astounded by how creatively she interpreted our proposal; best of all, we get to re-live our engagement every time we watch her film. My fiancée cried tears of happiness, and our parents and friends were also over the moon.

When should you hire an experienced and well-connected Paris event planner?

Whether to hire a Parisian proposal planner depends on the time you want to commit to the planning process and your budget. Pulling off a destination engagement in the City of Light requires effort and a good understanding of Paris. If you can afford to enlist a local expert who will take the time to understand your vision and ensure that everything goes smoothly, then don’t think twice. Expect to avoid costly mistakes and end up with a better experience.

Suppose you intend to make a straightforward total surprise proposal at Trocadero. In that case, you likely don’t need a planner.

Or, perhaps you’re working with a tight proposal budget. Then you probably can’t afford a planner and should invest in an experienced Paris photographer or coordinator who will assist you with the basics.

Or maybe you’re incredibly resourceful and don’t mind researching and negotiating with French vendors from thousands of miles away and across time zones. Then, we encourage you to bookmark this guide so you can turn to it again and again.

Romantic Paris proposal ideas that are actually memorable and unique

The marriage proposal idea, or so-called game plan on how to propose to your sweetheart, is different for every couple. It should be unique, creative, romantic, memorable, personalized, or, ideally, all of the above. But what works well for one couple may not be perfect for another. The only non-negotiables are effort and chivalry. The proven proposal ideas below are merely a starting point, and it’s up to you to adapt them to your partner’s personality.

Working with Kiss Me in Paris was a wonderful experience. From early communication, they were so helpful and responsive. We traveled from the US and made all the arrangement via email and text. Vincent, our photographer, was incredible—we absolutely loved him! He went above and beyond and made the whole experience very enjoyable despite the freezing temperatures. Vincent knows the City well and recommended amazing spots for a romantic photo session. He’s talented, and we love our photos so much. When you need a Paris photographer, don’t look anywhere else.

Before your partner arrives at the final location where you’re waiting, clues will guide her through personally meaningful and sentimental mini-experiences. Each experience begets higher highs and greater anticipation. You’ll absolutely need to enlist an experienced local event planner to help conceive, refine, and execute such an ambitious proposal idea.

The Midnight in Paris-themed Proposal is Sublime and Without Equal

We grouped the Themed Paris Proposal with the Scavenger Hunt Proposal since the two share essential elements. People attracted to this proposal concept desire a fun-filled engagement day instead of a single proposal moment. They invest real time, resources, and money to create a series of meaningful mini-experiences. Both concepts are impossible without local eyes and ears on the ground; you’ll need to enlist an experienced and caring planner.

However, suppose you are already over budget. Then it’s paramount to show chivalry, effort, and romance. Perhaps serenade your sweetheart before dropping to your knee. Or record congratulatory messages from her family to play after she says “Yes.” Maybe it’s been a while since you last gave her a sensual massage. You get the point—nothing should feel ordinary.

PRO tips on how to get the best possible proposal pictures

We’re always asked for actionable tips on getting the best photos of the special moment, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Getting the best possible proposal pictures in Paris
Great pictures are about unobtrusively capturing the special moment in a way that evokes emotion, is authentic, and helps the viewer understand the broader context.

Hire the best English-speaking Paris photographer you can afford. Together, you’ll agree on the ideal location, time of day, and how to recognize each other from a distance (i.e., send a selfie of you and your partner shortly before you leave your hotel). Don’t show up before the agreed-upon time, but also not much later than planned.

Tip
For best results, click on the red ‘hotspots’ in the photographs to gain deeper insight.

1. Get your partner’s attention

Let’s assume you smartly texted your photographer and vendor team that you’re about to arrive at the proposal spot.

Upon arrival, briefly make eye contact with your photographer (and/or videographer), and check your surroundings for distracting people and objects.

Then position yourself parallel to your desired backdrop and photo and video team.

Now is the perfect time to get your soulmate’s attention and deliver your speech, which brings your relationship full circle.

2. Drop to one knee

At this point, she’ll be too nervous to register anything more than ‘Will you marry me,’ which you ask after dropping to your knee to present the diamond engagement ring.

While the perfect form does not impact the experience, it significantly affects your photos.

So practice which knee to kneel on and how to effortlessly remove the ring box from your jacket and present the engagement ring while maintaining eye contact with your sweetheart.

3. She approaches to accept the ring

It might be tempting to get up to hug your partner—especially when she tears up.

But resist temptation and remain on your knee until she comes to you to accept the bling.

Remain on your knee for at least 10-15 seconds, which gives your proposal photographer enough time to capture the perfect moment masterfully.

4. Put the diamond ring on the finger

Putting the engagement ring on the finger while you’re still kneeling or after getting up is acceptable. We have a slight preference for standing up when you slip the diamond engagement ring on her finger.

Click the hotspots in the photo below to appreciate the fine details resulting in a better experience and engagement mementos.

5. Relax, and enjoy every moment

A common mistake is for couples to immediately turn to their secret (paparazzi) Paris photographer after she accepts the diamond ring.

It’s unfortunate and a missed opportunity.

Instead, enjoy your first moments as fiancés at your own pace. Dance, dip, hug, lift, kiss, and cry as you celebrate this extraordinary milestone in your relationship. She’ll have many questions, so now is a good time to give her the background story.

6. Let the corks fly

Nothing says ‘celebration’ quite like popping a perfectly chilled French Champagne. It is delicious, appropriate, and makes for awesome photos and videos.

She said, “Yes,” what’s next? Well, we recommend a perfectly chilled French Champagne and some delicious macarons for good measure.
