How to spend Valentine’s Day single in Paris

Spending Valentine’s Day single in the ‘City of Love’ can feel like a bit of a cruel joke. Surrounded by couples planning their romantic evening up the Eiffel Tower, it can be difficult to know where to turn. But put down that single bottle of wine and ready meal for one, there are plenty of things for you to do too! We’ve compiled a list of some great non-romantic activities to enjoy if you find yourself single on 14th February:
 

1. Plan a great night-in

You don’t need a special champagne dinner in a fancy restaurant to have a great night. Open a bottle of expensive wine, cook yourself a delicious dinner, binge watch your favourite show, bake a chocolate cake… Show yourself some love and be your own Valentine. There’s no reason to just sit around feeling sad when you can enjoy some quality “me-time”.

There is entertainment en route, and you can even join them for a soirée later on to wind down, meet people and make some new friends.

Tired of people? The 14th February is the perfect time to visit Le Cafe des Chats, grab a coffee or some lunch and make some new furry friends. There’s just nothing that makes people happy like being around cute animals… maybe becoming a crazy cat lady wouldn’t be so bad after all.
