Paris is often called the city of love. Cliché or not, indeed it is so cosmopolitan today that almost everyone can find romantic thread and follow it in the maze of century old houses and busy modern offices.

In February Paris is fantastic and it’s great destination for St. Valentine’s day. If this is your first visit to capital of France, then the Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Louvre are absolute must see. Unfortunately in this period of the year the average temperatures are quite discouraging to sit in long lines to get into any of these historical sights Average low is 4C /39F/ and average high is 9C /49F/.
