Where does one go in Paris to recover from a failed romance or console yourself if you are alone on Valentine’s Day? Take heart, because the role of a romantic heroine is calling you. Celebrate Valentine’s Day in Paris like a true Romantic Heroine no matter if your lover is near, or far.
Look out the window; if the day is a little foggy its perfect for putting on your favorite romantic outfit. I also recommend one of the inky deep tones of lipstick or nail polish to really bring out the tragic heroine in you. Add a dash of mysterious perfume like Dior’s ‘Poison’ or a Chanel’s ‘Allure’ to bring out your passionate side. For the guys, of course you can simply add a dash of French amour with a cashmere scarf to bring out the literary hero in you. Begin the process of healing by taking a walk to your local Paris cafe or a brasserie in your neighborhood. Find that perfect seat in the cafe and promptly order the most decadent drink you can think of…go ahead, make it a something you would never drink on a Wednesday at 2:00 pm.
If you decide to wander over to the Place des Voges, or walk through the Palais Royale there is designer shopping, galleries or elegant bakeries and even a Tea or pastry shop. Here’s where bohemian heros and heroines can mingle and mix over glasses of wine or brandy in full decadent post-romantic style. You can also make a visit to the Victor Hugo Museum nearby to brush up on the life of a romantic hero or heroine. Remember that being a romantic requires that you not only embrace love when it comes along, but get over it with style like a true romantic hero or heroine.
