Tomb of Abelard and Heloise, Paris
 A cemetery probably isn't the first place you'd think of wooing someone, but the Cimetière du Père Lachaise in Paris is definitely worth a visit on a romantic date. It's where the tomb of 12th-century lovers Abelard and Heloise lies. The relationship between philosopher Abelard and his student Heloise scandalised the local community and when Heloise fell pregnant they were soon separated. It was only after they died that they were reunited with their remains resting eternally together in the Cimetière du Père Lachaise.
