"A first date at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris has several advantages. 1. The lighting of the place, subdued and colorful, immersed in an intimate and warm atmosphere. 2. A visit to the museum avoids any embarrassing moments. In case there is a lull in the conversation, you can just stop and read some of the art pieces' explanations (in English and in French). 3. It allows you to reach your target of 10,000 steps per day, recommended by the WHO. If you have skipped a weekly workout session to free yourself up for the date, and you have just spent 8 hours behind your computer, you might not want to just sit down on a terrace… And if the date goes well, go upstairs to stroll between the more confidential galleries. You can lock eyes with each other through the exhibition windows, like Romeo and Juliet in the iconic aquarium scene. Although in my opinion, a first date should never drag on, if you feel like it, a bucolic stroll in the Jardin des Plantes or in the surrounding greenhouses (don't forget about those 10,000 steps!) will refocus the attention and onto the primary goal of the date: you two. Worst case, if it doesn't work out, you will have learned some new things which you can even impress your next dates with)." -Marie Bladt, Beauty Editor - Vogue Paris"
