Valentine’s Day in France

So how do you wish Happy Valentine’s Day in France? It is known as “Happy Valentine’s Day”. Unlike the United States, the French celebrations have been a recent development. No one knows exactly how the various traditions came to be. Whether myth, tradition or fact, France also has its own Valentine’s Day traditions.

Valentine’s tradition in France

These traditions go back into history. One of the celebrities was known as “a love lottery.” The English paraphrase would be “drawing for love”. According to this tradition, single men enter the house across from theirs. They would call until such time as a young lady showed up and they got a partner to pair up with. Little by little, the French government banned it due to the few anti-social repercussions that derive from it. What resulted from this tradition is that men left women they were not attracted to. These women, in turn, hurl invective and burn the names of the men who abandoned them.

Another tradition that has gained popularity is the giving of cards. The tradition stemmed from the “cartes d’amities” which originated from Valentine’s cards given as gifts by the Duke of Orleans. He was a prisoner, arrested in the Tower of London. It was during his imprisonment that he used to send love letters, poems and postcards to his beloved wife in France. Card trading originated here.
