The Paris Convention & Visitors Bureau and Atout France are proud participants in an upcoming episode of ABC’s The Bachelor. The episode will feature the beautiful city of Paris as the next location on the high-end romantic journey of the newest Bachelor, Arie Luyendyk Jr. as he continues his search for the love of his life. This episode of The Bachelor, currently celebrating its 22nd season, is scheduled to air Monday, February 5th, 2018, at 8/7c, on ABC.

Six years ago, Arie Luyendyk Jr. was in love and a day away from proposing to the woman of his dreams. And then, she broke his heart. After a tearful exit on Emily Maynard’s (now Emily Maynard Johnson) season of ABC’s The Bachelorette, Arie stepped away from the spotlight of Bachelor Nation, retired from his career as an accomplished Formula 1 racer, and shifted gears to become a successful real estate broker in Scottsdale, Arizona. Even though he has been away from Bachelor Nation, America hasn’t forgotten Arie’s rugged good looks and charm. Now Arie, 36, is back and ready to race into America’s heart yet again when he returns for a second shot at love, starring in the 22nd season of ABC’s hit romance reality series The Bachelor, returning to ABC, Mondays (8:00pm, ET/PT).

For the first time ever, both institutions have decided to partner with an influent US TV programme to showcase Paris. The broadcast of the Paris’s episode in February is a perfect timing to highlight Paris as the capital of romance, few days before Valentine’s day.

Numerous Parisian cultural sites & professionals will be revealing their best assets in this episode; no doubt they will be new reasons for visitors to come to follow the footsteps of the Bachelor in 2018.
