Paris is the city of love but, whether you find yourself there with that special someone or on your lonesome, make your way down to La Coupole at Montparnasse.
The famous haunt of Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir has stunning internal décor and takes you back to another era. The food is delicious and if you are seeking the true Parisian experience then there is nowhere better to dine.
And, even if you end up alone there on Valentine's Day, indulging in their silky hot chocolate, at least the waiters know the way to a girl’s heart. Dessert on the house!

Do try Chez Angelina on Rue de Rivoli ( 226 Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris, Tel: +33 (0) 1 42 60 82 00, Metro: Tuileries). Beautiful Viennese salon de the; mingle with Parisiens and tourists alike, very friendly, no queues to get in in March but probably a wait in the summer...the chocolat chaud is outstanding.
