The world salutes St Valentine

Yup, there really is a place called St Valentin. And it is not in Italy. It is smack in the centre of France and is a hot spot during the season of love.

Two long-term residents of St Valentin pose in front of a cut out. It comes as no surprise that Liliane and Bernard have been married for 47 years. That's what living in a place nicknamed the Lovers' Village does to you.
