Inspiring the greatest poets, artists, and writers in history, Paris rivals Rome and Venice in the romance department. We here at Plum Guide daren’t begin to count the movies and books that have been inspired by Paris’s greatest love stories – we’d be here all day and we’ve got a list of sublime love nests to tell you about. Suffice to say that romance is in Paris’s very fibre and being; it’s in the ornate architecture, it's in the intimate bistros, it's in the manicured parks, and it’s in the air. When looking for a romantic getaway - be it for a weekend or a whole month - Paris will almost certainly be near the top of the list of choice destinations. If it’s not, let us say, 'Quelle surprise!' and move on. Because, if you give yourself the time to think about how many have fallen in love or been in love on Paris’s streets, you’d know it’s the obvious choice for a romance in bloom. Looking for the most romantic Airbnbs Paris has to offer? Let's take a look at some of the best vacation homes in our collection.

Located in the now-trendy SoPi (South Pigalle) area, this plush duplex has an on-site concierge and charmingly refined vintage-feel, making for a great place to stay. If you're looking for something to do nearby, the Musée de la Vie Romantique is on your doorstep. Dedicated to the movement of romanticism, its gardens are worth a stroll together.

Characterised by Scandi Chic with pops of colour, this apartment boasts a snug TV room – made for cosy nights in sharing a bottle of fine French red. In the neighbourhood, the Marais as a whole is a quaintly romantic retreat with narrow streets and art galleries galore – where better for a romantic Paris Airbnb? Stroll the labyrinthine streets and along the Seine as you share a sugary crêpe or two. Looking for a date spot? Le Bar 1905 was, as the name hints, founded in 1905. This refurbished wine cellar is in the heart of the Marais and makes for an intimate date, following in the footsteps of over a century's worth of couples before you.

Art enthusiasts will love this characterful one-bedroom apartment with exposed beams and stone walls, less than a mile from the Louvre. Sample scents together at Serge Lutens under the arches of the Palais Royal and then have a carafe of wine from Villalys in seats overlooking the royal palace’s beautiful gardens.

If you're picked up an appetite, nearby Fellini is one of the finest Italian restaurants in Paris, providing generous portions in a classically romantic setting. When it comes to location, this elegant apartment is undoubtedly among the most romantic Airbnbs in Paris. Set opposite the Luxembourg Gardens, this luxury apartment is ideal for couples who enjoy early morning walks in glorious Parisian parks and cosy nights in. What to do: during the winter, the Pavillon de la Fontaine Paris in the Jardin du Luxembourg will be your private escape from the cold. Most of Paris - visitors and locals - are still in bed or out of the city limits. The Pavillion will keep you both warm while providing excellent coffee (and a complimentary lollipop.) Where to eat: Le Restaurant @ l’Hotel is a small Michelin-starred restaurant whose setting and cuisine epitomise romance.

From luxurious Paris apartments to quirky, unique accommodation options , it's clear we know all about finding a home you'll love in the City of Love. And if you're dreaming of romance but forced to bring your family along to Paris? Well, we can't do much about that, but Plum Guide can at least help you find the perfect family Airbnb in the French capital.
