Valentines, the countdown has begun: only a few days left to prepare the most romantic and passionate evening for the love of your life. Of course Valentine's Day, when you love, it is celebrated every day. But that's no reason not to try to organize the perfect evening once a year, perfect of course according to everyone's criteria.
Why a lovers' day on February 14th? In the 14th century this day was chosen to celebrate love, because it was thought that it was the day chosen by birds to mate.
But it is especially in the seventeenth century that Valentine's Day became popular; moreover, William Shakespeare in Hamlet makes Orphelia sing: "To-morrow is Saint Valentine's Day".
From now on, Valentine's Day has become a real holiday prepared and celebrated everywhere.
The French Riviera, romantic by definition, is the perfect place to spend Valentine's Day. Breathtaking landscapes, ideal climate, and joie de vivre everywhere.
