Puttin' On the Ritz - Celebrity Honeymooners in Paris

Paris is one of the most romantic cities in the world. No wonder it's a top honeymoon destination. Newlyweds Isla Fischer and Sacha Baron Cohen spent their honeymoon in the Coco Chanel Suite at The Ritz in Paris. Sure, their lavish two-bedroom enclave was once inhabited by the fashion designer, but the lovebirds probably had something else on their minds. Controversial couple, Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, also stayed at The Ritz during their honeymoon. In fact, love addicts can bed down in a suite where Audrey Hepburn and Gary Cooper flirted while shooting Love in the Afternoon.

Feel like cashing in on all the romance? GE is giving away $20,000 in their GE Appliance Cash Sweepstakes. That's enough cash for a trip to Paris. Get ritzy and enter.

Woody Allen's Love Letter to Paris

It's isn't even Valentine's Day, and Woody Allen has already finished what's being described as his love letter to Paris, Midnight in Paris. Set in the 1920s, this romantic film was shot all over Paris last summer. It centers around a couple who are transformed by their business trip to the French capital. Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard, Kathy Bates, and Adrien Brody are just a few of the cast members in this romantic comedy, destined to kick off the Cannes Film Festival in May. Mais oui, even first French lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, makes an appearance.
