Today, Tuesday, November 29, 2011, you might be happy to have taken the metro! Indeed, throughout the day, gentleman pickpockets will be roaming the Parisian underground, surreptitiously slipping a flower into the bags or pockets of passersby. And with a bit of luck, it might just be you!
You could also be one of their happy victims if you are walking around the Beaubourg, Haussmann, or Opéra neighborhoods. Their motto: “Giving flowers to give happiness, a smile, pleasure”!
Behind this original operation is the Dutch Flower Council with the simple idea that giving flowers means showing attention to someone who matters, and I think that’s beautiful!
In addition to this event, from November 14, 2011, to February 18, 2012, 1,000 bouquets are to be won over 100 days on the website www.effetfleurs.fr. It’s worth trying your luck!
