Parisian Valentine’s Day Ideas
“Plan a Valentine’s Day inspired by the most romantic city in the world. St Pierre brings you Parisian Valentine’s Day ideas to make your loved ones’ hearts sing.”
We all know that Paris is the most romantic city in the world, perhaps because the French don’t believe love is something that should be celebrated on just one day, but all year round. From strolls down the River Seine, to picnics under the Eiffel Tower, Paris is filled with romantic things to do. Take inspiration from the City of Love this year and fill your day with Parisian Valentine’s Day ideas.
Parisian Valentine’s Day Ideas: Love Lock
Love locks are used to symbolize a couple’s everlasting love. They are padlocks, often engraved with the two lovers’ names and the date they locked it, attached to a bridge, fence or tree. It is then common for the key to be thrown away to show that their love is unbreakable.
Love lock bridges have become popular all over the world, with one of the most famous bridges being the Pont des Arts in Paris. Whilst you can no longer place locks on the Pont des Arts due to the weight of all the locks causing damage to the bridge, the idea behind love locks is still a romantic one. So, this Valentine’s Day taking a stroll and finding a bridge or a fence where you can place your own love lock could be a romantic way to show your everlasting love to your special someone.

France is known as being one of the most romantic nations in the world, so it is no surprise that they have lots of must-watch romantic films such as Chocolat or Amélie.
