Details
Category: News
Published: 01 May 2018

The story of this habit dates back far. In ancient Rome, flowering was already celebrated around the end of April and the beginning of May. The Celts had a similar holiday, Beltaine, which marked the passage from the dark season to the clear season.

The tradition dates back to the time of Charles IX. On May 1, 1560, the king was offered a sprig of lily of the valley during a visit to the Dauphiné. He would have appreciated the gesture so much that he would have decided to take up this idea to offer each spring a sprig of lily of the valley to the ladies of the court. It's a lucky charm today.
