Valentine's Day a celebration with very ancient origins

 
Origin and history
 
Valentine's Day finds its roots in certain ancestral traditions such as the Roman festival of Lupercalia. This festival is celebrated in honor of fertility.
 
Valentine and Valentine
 
In France, the term "Valentine" designates the partner as an equal to the festival itself. Lovers say my Valentine or my Valentine to speak of his or her beloved.
 
France has many assets compared to other countries such as art, cuisine, its vineyards, some of its industries such as luxury, etc. But one thing stands out in a singular way : it is the romanticism of its inhabitants. So Valentine's Day remains a festival appreciated by many people.
 
Since the 2000s, we have observed a paradigm shift in romantic relationships, partly thanks to or because of dating sites and the development of the internet in homes. But in any case, on Valentine's Day, gestures of love and affection will be at the heart of this celebration.
 
What to offer or what to do on Valentine's Day
 
The French celebrate this holiday with cards, chocolates, flowers (often roses). One tradition stands out from the others : offering chocolate eggs would be a good idea.
 
The must will also be to invite your Valentine to a romantic dinner. Indeed, many couples like to meet in gourmet restaurants for a candlelit dinner. Cuisine being an asset of France, the association of cuisine and love gives life to a day filled with sensuality.
 
Valentine's Day and the geography of cities
 
Paris, the city of love : stroll along the banks of the Seine, admire the view from the Eiffel Tower, stroll through the most beautiful neighborhoods of Paris, discover unusual places, put a love lock on the Pont des Arts. 
 
Annecy : stroll around the lake while eating an ice cream, explore the old streets of the old town of Annecy.
 
For travelers, a little trip on February 14 to Venice. Float on the canals aboard a gondola, buy a souvenir in a shop and end the day with a meal.
