Today in Paris, stunning boxes of chocolates, beautiful heart-shaped cakes and gorgeous bouquets of flowers have been whizzing out the doors of shops all over town in celebration of la Saint-Valentin. I thought I’d send a couple of ideas to make your Valentine’s Day a little more French if you are so inclined:
– Send a French Valentine’s Day e-card to your loved ones. Click here to see the variety of virtual French Valentine’s greeting cards available. (And there’s even an ‘Anti Saint Valentin’ option for those not wishing to oversentimentalize February 14!)
– Make the ‘Coeur au Chocolate’ cake featured by the famous Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris for Valentine’s Day this year. They have the recipe for the Chocolate Heart Cake in English with the US measuring system to make it even easier. Treat your loved ones to this French sweet treat by clicking here.
Wishing all French Affaires readers a little “Love” the Paris Ladurée way – and Joyeuse Saint-Valentin! ~Elizabeth
