# Where to propose in Paris

Find the spot, the hour and the plan for the moment you'll both remember.

Send me the guide

Written by **Quentin Carlier**, Paris proposal photographer.

Free. Your email is used to send the guide and a couple of notes on proposing in Paris, nothing else. Your partner is not on this list. [Privacy policy](https://carlierquentin.fr/politique-de-confidentialite/).

Seven spots. The best hour for each. And how to get you both dressed up when only one of you knows why. Twenty-one pages, free.

- **Seven spots, compared side by side.** Atmosphere, the hour to go and what to allow for, so you can shortlist two in a minute. Then a full page on each.
- **The best hour for each.** The Trocadéro at 7am and at 3pm are two different places.
- **Dressed up, no hints.** Simple ways to get you both looking good without giving it away, including the one that solves everything: a couple photoshoot.
- **The walk in.** Which way to arrive so the spot feels like a surprise, not a line.
- **When you want the city to yourselves.** A private boat, a rooftop, two palaces: the private options, judged the same way.
- **How it works if you want me there.** The whole thing on one page, from your first message to the gallery, starting with a safe way to reach you.
