Visiting France anytime of the year is a special treat, but a trip on Valentine's Day with your special someone will go down in your personal history book as..."do you remember what we did for Valentine's Day in 2010?" The French tourism department has put together a list of pretty special treats.  Read on for what I pulled off their latest newsletter: 

What are you doing for Valentine's Day? To help you celebrate the occasion, we've compiled a host of romantic ideas for the big day. Whether you want to surprise your sweetheart with flowers or chocolate, go for a spa getaway, or sail over the vineyards of France in a hot-air balloon, we've got you covered.

February also marks the "Gascon Invasion" of New York City! Starting February 17, food, festivities, and wines from the southwest of France will reign in celebration of the 25th anniversary of d'Artagnan. So get out there and start living your February à la française!

Plan Your Valentine's Day Rendez-Vous.  Take a video tour of Guadeloupe.  Celebrate d'Artagnan's 25th Anniversary in NYC.  Americn Artist Creates New Permanent Installation for the Louvre.  Visit Champagne-Ardenne from $499: There's Much More than Bubbly to be Found Here!   Burgundy Packages from $605: Chateaux, Vineyards, and Cycling Routes Await.  7 Days in Alsace from $1399: Vineyards, Gastronomy, Culture, and More!
