Paris Surprise Proposal
IN THE STREETS OF MONTMARTRE
You’ll wander through the charming cobblestone streets of Montmartre, where an artist will sketch a portrait of your beloved—featuring a curious key-shaped pendant. Later, a fortune teller will read her palm and offer a matching pendant. That very key will unlock a box containing your surprise marriage proposal!
What you will experience together during this surprise Paris proposal:
On the Day: 5:00 PM, you’ll spend the afternoon meandering hand in hand through the cobblestone streets of the Sacré-Cœur district.
As you step off the funicular near Nadar Square, you’ll be approached by Michel, a portrait artist, who will offer to sketch your partner’s portrait. Naturally, you’ll accept. Your beloved will pose before the smiling artist, who hums little tunes and adds a dash of humor to his craft.
Once the sketch is complete, your partner will notice a curious detail: a key-shaped pendant drawn onto the portrait. The artist won’t elaborate—he’ll simply smile and explain that it represents the key to happiness in Montmartre...
After bidding him farewell, you’ll continue your stroll. You’ll wander through the charming Place du Tertre, amble down the eclectic Rue Norvins, and turn right onto the peaceful Rue des Saules. There, you’ll spot a gypsy seated on the pavement, offering extraordinary jewels to passersby—some said to bring eternal beauty, others good fortune... and some, love.
The gypsy—actually a gifted actress!—will warmly engage you and offer to read your partner’s palm, which you’ll happily accept. During the captivating, promise-laced reading, she’ll correctly guess your partner’s zodiac sign and favorite color. Then she’ll reveal that among her many necklaces, only one is meant for her: a key-shaped pendant, identical to the one in the portrait! As she holds it out, you’ll feign surprise and show her the sketch. Amazed by the coincidence, she’ll give you the pendant as a gift...
You’ll leave the fortune teller and continue down Rue des Saules, turning left onto Rue de l’Abreuvoir. There, a mysterious man will appear, sprinting toward you. Glancing over his shoulder, as if being followed, he’ll reach you and slip a small package into your partner’s hands, whispering, “It’s for you,” before vanishing as quickly as he came...
Intrigued, you’ll stop at the brasserie Le Consulat, eager to uncover the mystery. Your partner will unwrap the package to find a wooden box secured with a tiny lock. Spotting that the lock’s design matches the pendant, she’ll piece it all together, use the pendant’s key to unlock it, and discover a scroll inside... your marriage proposal! She’ll be left speechless.
To crown this extraordinary scavenger hunt, a waiter will arrive with a bouquet of red roses and two glasses of champagne...

“Nicolas, to be honest, my expectations were mild—I anticipated a charming experience, but perhaps a bit inauthentic and obvious. It was quite the opposite. I cannot give enough credit to your actors. The portrait artist was absolutely amazing; he took his time and was very authentic, even singing to Kaitlin while she sat in the park thinking she was being sketched. A woman seated beside us was captivated by the eyes of the portrait when it was revealed, and the people nearby applauded! The gypsy was fantastic, delivering the right words in exactly the right way. Kaitlin was overwhelmed by a sense of fate and connection, to the point where I worried it might be too perfect! She asked me to film, capturing some truly touching moments. As expected, she was cautious about the box’s presentation, as were some onlookers, but it was cleverly handed to me so I could unwrap it, and she immediately realized it was meant for her key. From there, everything unfolded perfectly. My Paris surprise proposal was beyond my wildest dreams. Please pass on my thanks to the actors; without them, it would not have been the fairy-tale moment it turned out to be—a cherished memory for her. And, of course, our thanks to you for bringing it all together! Amazing.”
