Valentine's Day....
Valentine's Day, lovers' day, everyone knows! And, despite the season, February 14 is a day when the heart is warm!
But Saint-Valentin, in the Indre, do you know it?
Saint-Valentin
It is amazing how many villages are called Saint-Martin, Saint-Pierre, Saint-Jean, to the point that it has often been deemed necessary to add a precision such as Saint-Martin de la Place.
But Saint-Valentin, period! There is only one, only one lover!
Saint-Valentin, an unusual village that has Peynet as its patron saint...
If you want to call yourself Valentine's Day, you might as well make it really the village of lovers. And it is!
Saint-Valentin, the "must see"
In the village of Saint-Valentin, there are "must-see" places!
The "lovers' garden" for example, a large 4 hectare garden, where many visitors have planted their own trees. There is also the small kiosk inspired by Peynet lovers, the panel for souvenir photography, and the famous "tree of hearts" on which you hang a metal heart that you have previously had engraved. A little less eternal, you can also hang a ribbon on the "wish tree".
There is also the "Maison des amoureux" in which we will find both a shop selling Berry products, and... the Post Office! Yes, a real Post Office, which provides all the services of the Post Office, but decorated in the Peynet style, and which offers adapted services, including the reshipment of wedding invitations, on an agreed date, with obviously the cancellation of the two intertwined hearts!
And, of course, you will have lunch at the restaurant "on February 14th"!
