Every year, the same dilemma arises: how to surprise your partner without resorting to the same old thing? Good news: no need to travel to the other side of the world or empty your savings. Around the Grand AvignonRomantic ideas abound. Here are 5 simple (and effective) ways to score points for Valentine's Day.

01

It's cold, but love warms you up.

Picnic with a view

A basket filled with delicious local products, a breathtaking view, a blanket (the blanket is very important!), and you have everything you need. In winter, the landscapes are calmer, the light softer, but our temperatures are mild, creating the perfect atmosphere for a romantic getaway, far from the noise.
A romantic picnic proves that you can be simple and memorable at the same time.

If you can't put glitter in his life, put stars in his eyes.

Give him a Michelin-starred meal

A gourmet dinner is always a safe bet. Attentive service, creative cuisine, perfect pairings: the kind of experience to savor but above all to share.

Send you flying

Want to break with tradition and break with the candlelit dinner? Take to the skies. Aerial experiences and thrills: nothing like a little adrenaline rush to bring hearts together.

City break > a break

A night elsewhere, not too far away

Changing your surroundings without going far is often a great idea. A charming hotel, a cozy guesthouse, a spa, waking up without an alarm clock. Sometimes just one night is enough to recharge your batteries and truly reconnect with yourself.

To gorge ourselves on love (and cocoa)

A box of chocolates

Yes, it's a classic. But a good classic. Handcrafted chocolates, local creations, sweets to share (or not)... Because in love as in chocolate, quality makes all the difference.
