I got engaged in Paris. Congrats to you. My worst part was getting the ring past security. I actually packed it in order to not raise any security flags. I also got piss drunk before boarding. I took her to Tour D'Argent for dinner, which is well over 400 euro each for dinner with drinks. The taxi let us out in front, I told her lets cross the Seine to some bistro on the other side to pregame with drinks so we dont have to pay 20 euro for a martini.. and halfway across the bridge I stopped and popped. It was awesome - then the Eiffel Tower started twinkling. If you can time this right like I did accidentally, you will look like a champ. Anyhow, pick any restaurant (if you dont want that one) on the Seine, do it on one of the bridges. Very romantic.

Temple of love in versailles, under cupids statue, is a romantic place to propose. YMMV as it can be thought of as too cheesy. On a boat in the canal at Versailles might be ok too.

In reality you are worrying too much, and even if you babble like a cretin she will think you are sweet for trying. On a bridge is always good. Or infront of a fountain...... women love the fountains.

I would send her an email with a link to this thread, and ask her to check her blackberry in the middle of one of the bridges.

I've never understood public proposals, the event seems very private to me and I don't see why anyone would want observers, or affirmation of one's love by complete strangers. Even more obscene than the public shout is the basketball-halftime proposal, which unnecessarily imbue the event for her with self-consciousness. For sincerity and profundity's sake, do it far away from others, I'd choose a private garden or park if it has to be in Paris itself, otherwise a vineyard at sunset or something... have a series of private places lined up over a few days to account for the merits of spontaneity/the possibility of her not appearing in the mood.

This thread seems like a lose-lose situation. I mean, even if there is something good that appears in between all of the snark, it's eventually going to come out that your wedding proposal came from a website where men post pictures of pictures of themselves for other men to look at and end every sentence with "nohomo".
