La Saint Valentin
Impossible to miss this date by walking through the streets with windows decorated especially for the occasion. This February 14, Valentine’s Day, the feast of lovers, is back.
The habits of the French in figures
Valentine’s Day is often celebrated with an exchange of gifts between lovers, but it is not celebrated by everyone, some deeming it too commercial. She would still be celebrated, according to a 2008 survey, by 90% of French couples. The gift budget they devote to it, still according to this same survey, would be more than 50 euros for 44% of them. 44% of women there offer weekend boxes and 31% offer delicacies (31%). Men, for their part, rather offer jewelry or perfumes for 40% of them. The traditional bouquet is found at the bottom of the table with only 8% of the routes.
Events in Paris

Apart from gifts, this holiday is often celebrated with a romantic evening and many places take the opportunity to prepare events for Valentines and Valentines for a day. Thus, the Eiffel Tower is offering a contest on its Instagram for the occasion. The price ? A visit accompanied by everything, a restaurant meal in the Jules Verne restaurant, a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of champagne to drink at the top of the tower. You have until February 10 to participate. For couples who do not prefer to bet on luck, other evenings are planned. Among them, a light exhibition at the Thoiry zoo. This evening, on reservation, offers for 69 € (for 2), a one and a half hour magical visit in the middle of illuminated animals. Aquariums also get into the mood. This is the case of the Sea life Paris aquarium, which offers a stroll among marine animals followed by a romantic dinner in an aquatic setting for €99 per person. For tighter budgets, why not visit one of the many gardens in Paris? A free outing but just as romantic.
Singles or couples, the ISMAC team wishes you a happy Valentine’s Day!
