Reason #2 that Paris is the Sexiest City in the World: You can kiss your sweetie in public.
The French are famously cool with public displays of affection, which is great because Paris inspires smooches. Here are a few especially romantic spots:
* "On a gray day, walk around the aboveground tombs in the Pere-Lachaise cemetery. One would never expect it to be one of Paris's most romantic places, but it is, by far." —Aylin, 26
* "Have dinner at L'Ourcine. The menu is scribbled on a chalkboard, and the wooden tables and mirrors make the room feel timeless and lovely." —Lauren, 27
* "Walk around the Louvre pyramid at night, or take a picnic to one of the few parks where you can lie on the grass, like the Bois de Vincennes." —Mary-Laure, 30
If you're planning a trip, check out this charming guide from blogger Jordan Ferney. Just watch your step! "Dog poop is everywhere and can truly ruin some head-in-the-clouds moments," says Aylin.
