Proposing to your partner is a big moment in your life. You want it to be special for both of you. It should be a grand gesture in both a romantic and impressive location. Can’t think of anywhere like that near you? Then why not hop on a plane and head somewhere a little sunnier? Here are our favourite ideas:
France – Paris or Provence
Paris is known as the ‘City of Love’ and therefore is the obvious choice for a marriage proposal. With plenty of sights and attractions, there is never a dull moment here so you’ll have plenty to do. Take a stroll along the river and head down to the lovers’ bridge in Pont Marie. Take a boat ride underneath and by tradition, you must kiss and make a wish. Or if boats aren’t for you, write your names on a lock and add it to the bridge before getting down on one knee.If you aren’t big on city trips then Provence may be a great alternative. Head down to the south east of France and you’ll enter the beautiful countryside with small villages nestled among fields of lavender. This enchanting area has a much more relaxed pace and is perfect for a romantic meal or picnic with a glass of wine. If you aren’t big on city trips then Provence may be a great alternative.

Spain – Madrid or Barcelona
The capital of Spain, Madrid is the country’s largest city. If you always say your other have is a Princess or they are your king then propose at the magnificent Palacio Real, the Royal Palace of Madrid. This ornate building has real opulence. On a sunny day then Parque del Buen Retiro is a great setting, especially its stunning greenhouse.For a trip that combines both a city and beach location take a flight to Barcelona. Filled to the brim with colourful architecture from famed artist Antonio Gaudi there is even a park dedicated to the creator which displays his best work. People say it is romantic to propose at the top of the Eiffel Tower but we think it would be even better at the architectural masterpiece that is the Sagrada Familia.
