Paris for couples: our romantic weekend in the Batignolles
Morning arrives gently in the Batignolles. The smell of coffee drifts from neighbourhood cafés, freshly baked pastries appear in windows and conversations begin to fill the terraces. Above it all, soft Parisian light falls across the rooftops.
A romantic weekend in Paris does not have to mean rushing from one landmark to the next. Sometimes the best way to experience the city together is simply to slow down, wander and leave enough time for an unexpected café, garden or glass of wine.
In the 17th arrondissement, the Batignolles has retained something of a village atmosphere. Cafés, bookshops, galleries, markets and gardens make it particularly easy to spend a weekend here at your own pace.
Here is our itinerary, starting from Joli Môme, our urban guesthouse at 11 rue des Batignolles.
What to do in Paris as a couple in the Batignolles?
Saturday morning: taking your time
The weekend can start around the large table at Joli Môme, with coffee, pastries, jams, fruits, and cheeses. Then, head to the Square des Batignolles for a romantic stroll together, before making a detour through the covered market.
The afternoon: bringing back afternoon tea
After a few hours spent in the neighborhood, return to Joli Môme for the complimentary afternoon tea offered every day: a few sweet treats, a hot drink, and a moment to slow down in the lounge.
Late afternoon: a cozy, homey aperitif
As the light fades, it’s time for the wine & cheese aperitif, another signature ritual of the house. A glass of wine, local cheeses and relax.
Our favourite places for discovering romantic Paris
The following morning, wander towards Parc Martin-Luther-King. Larger and more contemporary than the Square des Batignolles, its lawns, paths and water features reveal a different side of the neighbourhood.
Between the two parks, let yourselves drift through the surrounding streets. Around Place du Docteur-Félix-Lobligeois, café terraces reinforce the feeling of a small neighbourhood village. Independent shops, bookshops and galleries add to the creative atmosphere for which the Batignolles is known.
