Valentines day is approaching!


Here is a cute little Graffito that I found somewhere in the 20th (I don't remember where exactly!). I thought it was appropriate in view of the coming of La Saint Valentin (Valentine's day). On this occasion, the Paris town hall invited all Parisians to send a love message to a specific address; the message will then be broadcasted on the 170 information electronic billboards that are to be found everywhere in Paris on Feb 14.  2 700 people participated, but only a few will have the pleasure to see their messages up on the billboards!

  1. Broadcasting Love messages from the public on billboards around the city is a "lovely" idea!
    I like the Graffito, too.

  2. I think I know where this was taken. Near Menilmontant?

  4. Judging by the number of comments, it would appear that PDP people are not very romantic. Zero bisous!
    I love the stereotypical French couple, who probably only exist in old films now.

  5. What fun, especially for the ones whose billets doux are chosen!

  6. @Drummond "Judging by the number of comments, it would appear that PDP people are not very romantic. Zero bisous!" Or maybe that the photo is not worth any comments ;-) I've done better, I must say ;-)

  7. I am surprised that you do not mention the 12th is (was) Mardi Gras this year. I'm from New Orleans and of course we have a big celebration. But Mardi Gras and Lent happen in Paris, too. Isn't there a mardi Gras celebration in Nice?
