Discovering Saint-Valentin: the village of lovers
In the heart of Berry, in the Indre department, lies a small village that attracts hundreds of lovers every year on February 14th 💘.
Saint-Valentin lives up to its name and has become, over time, a haven for couples seeking romance.
This peaceful village of 300 inhabitants transforms each year into a little corner of paradise for all romantics!
It all began in the 1960s, when the town decided to highlight its name: Saint-Valentin, patron saint of lovers. It is, in fact, the only one in France to bear this name.
❤️🔥Since then, the village has been transformed into a sanctuary of love, with its flower-filled streets, hanging red hearts, and numerous nods to romance.
Every year, as Valentine's Day approaches, the village organizes a weekend dedicated to love.
The event includes:
Beyond the festivities organized in February, Saint-Valentin can be visited year-round.
🩷The Lovers' Garden is tastefully landscaped across nearly 3 hectares and offers a romantic stroll among contemporary artworks, heart sculptures, and poetic quotes.
You can also print your wish on a ribbon and hang it on the wishing tree to seal your commitment.
It's also a perfect spot for couple photos and marriage proposals under the Lovers' Pavilion.
Less than 25 minutes from Saint-Valentin, the Hotel Le Colbert also offers a romantic setting in Châteauroux.
Housed in a former tobacco factory, this 4-star hotel is the perfect place for your romantic getaway.
Discover our elegant rooms, some with king-size beds and bathtubs, ideal for a romantic weekend.
Book your romantic stay in the Berry region now, which includes a bouquet of flowers, a half-bottle of champagne, and a box of macarons.
Breakfast, served buffet-style, features local and seasonal products, ensuring a gentle start to your day.
Finally, why not arrange a romantic candlelit dinner at Le Colbert restaurant for a truly delightful culinary experience?
