Celebrate that special someone beyond Valentine’s Day with one of these trips to spots where romance flickers all year round
FRENCH FANCY
Paris, the self-styled City of Love, is a winner for holidays à deux; but there’s also vava-voom to be found in less conventional corners of France. Try Biarritz, the chichi Atlantic beach resort, for its seaside charm, golden sands and lovely architecture. Pop for lunch at Hotel du Palais, built by a love-struck Napoleon III as a palace for his Empress Eugénie; and visit the Chambre d’Amour secret cave for its legends of young lovers’ trysts.
HOW TO BOOK: Combine Biarritz with Bordeaux and Paris on a seven-night rail adventure costing from £799pp, including accommodation, breakfast and train travel (railbookers. co.uk).
