How romantic....?
Those who aren’t planning to spend Valentines Day eating their way through a family size bag of Maltesers whilst watching back-to-back episodes of Sex And The City, might actually fancy doing something fun and exciting with a loved one.
Well, if that’s you, why not break the norm of going to your local 2 for 1 night and seek fresh inspiration for your romantic break somewhere exciting lik Montréal?
From ice-skating around the majestic Bonsecours Basin or at Beaver Lake on Mount-Royal to taking in the city’s staggering beauty from the seat of a horse-drawn calèche, Montreal offers love-birds one of the most romantic getaways in the world.
During the day visitors can explore the enchanting Botanical Garden and by night take in the splendour of Old Montreal, a jewel on the St. Lawrence River, that sparkles and comes to life when an exquisitely designed light show is performed.
If sight-seeing hand-in-hand is more your cup of tea, the city boasts magnificent Gothic revival architecture, and for those searching for that rare pearl, there are a rich selection of antique shops along the row.
The romance isn’t just experienced when sight-seeing either. For gourmet fans, a stroll along Atwater Market offers a diverse range of merchants, caterers and boutiques, the market’s rich selection of fish, meats, baked goods and fine foods leaves visitors spoilt for choice. Loved-up couples can also enjoy the culinary delights at Montréal’s only revolving rooftop restaurant, the Tour de Ville, where dishes are as creative as they are generous.
If you’d like to invite me, I’d love to come, but I’ll just be far too busy pulling hunky rally car drivers out of the mud on the 14th, well, that’s unless Sebastian Vettel free’s up a date in his diary…
