Rating: 5 out of 5.

Ah, Paris, love’s mistress. There can’t be just one place in Paris that is its romantic resolve of this town. However, Rue de I’Université sure tries its best. Through non nefarious means of Googling Instagram shots of Paris, we found this place on a beautiful blue sky day wandering east of the Eiffel Tower to the cobble stone alleyway of Rue de I’Université. Lined with the 19th-century Haussmann style buildings the ally way connects the Eiffel’s gardens to the Musée du quai Branly’s grounds. In the early afternoon the sunlight bounces off the buildings giving a warm glow to the alley, picture perfect. This is becoming quite a popular place for romantic moments, so take your time, prep your lines and be ready for the moment.

We give this place a high rating because: It’s easy to get to, besides that airplane ticket dependent, via metro or taxi. The affordable location leaves funds for other activities around Paris.

Six years on the road, thirty-eight countries, with various suitcases we’ve packed and unpacked more times than we can count. We travel slowly because slow is the only way to actually see a place, one month in a village until you know which roaster makes the good coffee, three months in a city until the map in your head starts to match the streets. Romantic Roads is where we put the pieces of the life we’ve built moving: house sits, night buses, borrowed kitchens, the specific loneliness of a Tuesday in a place with a language you don’t quite speak, the specific joy of a Wednesday in one you’ve started to. If you’re building something similar, or thinking about it, or just want to travel from your couch…come along.
