Whether you want to propose in one of the most romantic towns in France or you just want to make a romantic memory with your special someone, these are some of the towns you should not miss to visit:
Roussillon
Roussillon’s mesmerizing village can be found in Provence and it isn’t surprising that it finds itself as one of the most beautiful villages in France. Its ochre-colored streets are ideal for ambling with Mediterranean sun always high in the sky and café tables full of the best foods and local wine throughout the year.
Mont Saint-Michael
This island village looks like it has been plucked straight from fairy tales. One of the most romantic and best views that Mont Saint-Michael has to offer is from the jetty walk.
Annecy
Annecy’s alpine town lies on the east part of Lyon, which is located in southern France. The Alps offer a magical backdrop to one of the beautiful old towns in France. The canals weave their way through its center with colorful buildings looking down onto the bridges and pathways. This is why it is referred to as the Venice of France, which is definitely a romantic town.
Blois
Loire Valley is basically home to lots of romantic villages and towns, yet Blois should be a favorite. It is a hillside city that offers incredible views over Loire River. From this place, it is less than a thirty minute drive to Chateau de Chambord, which is France’s most romantic chateau.

Cassis’ harbor town is absolutely a pure delight. Located on Calanques National Park’s edge, you could not ask for a more romantic or much prettier town to explore. Its picturesque pebble beach, harbor-side restaurants, and sunny Mediterranean days are an exceptional foundation for romance.
