Previously, the people in France used to celebrate Valentine's Day in a peculiar fashion. On Valentine's Day, the custom of ?drawing for? is that unmarried people would go into houses facing each other and call out across from one window to another and pair off with their chosen partner. However, if the young man is unhappy with his valentine, he would desert her and a bonfire would be lit later where ladies would burn images of their ungrateful lovers and hurl abuses at them. Eventually, the French Government handed-down a decree and officially banned the custom.
These days, the celebration of Valentine's Day in France is kept simple. Couples in France exchange Valentine's Day greetings through cards, fresh flowers and gifts of love.
