You’ve been in a relationship for ages and want to rekindle the flame? Have you just met someone who makes your heart skip a beat, and you’d like to give this new crush a run for his or her money? Whether we’re talking about a budding romance or a serious relationship, we need to keep our couples going with dates worthy of a romcom. That’s why we’ve put together some ideas for romantic dates in Marseille.
1. A sublime Candlelight concert
Thanks to its candlelit concerts, the Candlelight experience promises an emotionally rich moment for two. Always in exceptional locations, vibrate to the sounds of music by the greatest classical and contemporary composers. Whether you’re into jazz, film music, classical or pop, give your other half a ticket to the Candlelight concert of your choice and enjoy a romantic and original date together.
2. An unusual blindfold dinner with Dining in The Dark
Because there’s more to life than the traditional candlelit dinner, romance can just as easily go hand in hand with unusual sensory experiences. That’s why Marseille Secrète has come up with THE unusual plan to quench your thirst for the unknown. Dining in the Dark is a blind dinner to be shared as a couple or with your new date, to blow their minds (not in the literal sense).
3. The classic but unstoppable dinner in a romantic restaurant
Who said candlelit dinners were only for Valentine’s Day? Chic restaurants and romantic gourmet dinners can be enjoyed all year round in Marseille. And if you’re in any doubt as to the right address to choose, here’s a list of the most “wow” restaurants where you can (re)conquer your loved one in the blink of an eye. As an added bonus, we’ve even included an inexpensive Michelin Guide restaurant where you can really pull out all the stops.
4. Have a drink in one of Marseille’s finest rooftops
Sometimes, a single cocktail is enough to shower you with love. And because the setting counts too, why not sip your Spritz on a rooftop overlooking the city of Marseille. Here’s our selection of Marseille’s unmissable rooftop terraces, so you and your loved ones can rediscover the world over a drink while you gaze into her eyes and the panorama.
