Are you with us?

We're offering you 5 (truly) original solutions to escape on a budget, because the intensity of an experience clearly cannot be measured by the number of zeroes on the bill.

Whether you're in search of thrills, reconnection gold something out of the ordinary, we've brainstormed to put together 5 exclusive concepts for romantic getaways for a symbolic one euro.

The urban safari

Become undercover tourists in your own city

WE CHANGE THE WAY WE SEE EVERYDAY LIFE.

Choose a trendy, bucolic gold historic neighbourhood you never visit and... reinvent yourselves. Become, for the duration of an afternoon, a couple of art critics gold foreign travellers on a stopover between two trains.

Walk into the lobbies of grand hotels, visit the free galleries and end your adventure by sharing a pastry for 1 euro on a bench, in front of a monument. This immediate role play creates a bubble of intimacy and a new sense of excitement. If proof were ever needed that adventure is born just around the corner...

The starry night

Wild camping on your balcony (or garden)

Why pay for a room with a view when you can sleep under the Milky Way? Sort out some mattresses, duvets and a mountain of cushions on your balcony gold in a friend's garden. The idea is to cut all artificial light and rediscover the silence of the night.

Download a free astronomy app, and have fun naming the constellations.

This impromptu bivouac offers a sense of vulnerability and unique closeness, ideal for reconnecting physically and emotionally under the protection of the moon.

The Terminus

The adventure at the end of a metro ticket

Take a public transport map, close your eyes and point in a direction. The goal is simple: go all the way to the terminus of a line you never take.

Once you arrive, explore the surroundings as if you were in the middle of nowhere.

Look for a trail, unusual architecture gold a hidden park. This low-cost expedition breaks the routine of everyday journeys and transforms a simple 1-euro ticket into a real urban road trip where the unknown becomes the driving force of your desire.

The Key Swap

"Mystery Box" with another couple

It's the ultimate concept for getting away for free. Suggest to a couple of friends that you swap apartments for a night gold a weekend. Sleeping in another bed, discovering a different view and cooking with different crockery is enough to trick the brain and create the illusion of a faraway trip. The extra little thrill? 

The "permitted voyeurism" aspect of discovering the intimate world of those close to you. Leave each other little challenges scattered around the home to spice up the experience a notch.

The "Blackout" Retreat

Awakening the senses without electricity

For this last concept, there's no need to leave home... BLOW THE FUSES --> literally cut the electricity for 24 hours. Without screens, without wifi and without artificial light, time stretches out. You live by the rhythm of the sun and candles (your only 1-euro investment). This return to basics forces conversation, play and above all touch. Without digital distractions, your gaze settles once again on the other person. It's a powerful sensory experience that puts the body and pleasure back at the centre of your romantic preoccupations.

As you'll have gathered, romantic getaways for 1 euro are first and foremost about giving yourselves quality time and the unexpected. Whether you choose the urban adventure gold a complete digital detox at home, what matters most is the curiosity you bring to your partner. Luxury doesn't lie in the destination, but in the way you inhabit the present moment together. So, ready to take off without leaving the ground?
