Valentine’s Day is coming so thought I’d do some research into it and maybe find some cheesy songs I love to share for this #FrenchFriday post but I can’t say I was able to find a lot of content and don’t want to have retell the retelling of the story myself, I did find out that in France you only give a present to your significant other, friends not allowed. Shame.
The first video I want to share is this french Valentine’s Day Rhyme that was inspired by the drawings of Raymond Peynet. It’s cute, there’s a transcript (at the bottom of the page) and you can learn some vocabulary.
Une histoire de coeurs – La Saint Valentin – Valentine’s Day – French
For the second video we have a history of St. Valentine’s day and only 3 minutes long. I don’t normally share these type of videos for various reasons but I wasn’t finding a lot of content and found this video that a French teacher shared with me once so I got somewhat nostalgic, I’m also able to understand it a lot better now.
La véritable histoire de la Saint-Valentin, le 14 février
Finally, I will share one cheesy song, it’s not a great song but the lyrics are on screen and it’s easy to follow and hey, it wouldn’t be a holiday themed French post without a song.
Chanson Saint Valentin ? Chanson d’Amour “in love”
