In the early 20th century, it became customary for men to offer a bouquet of lily of the valley to their sweetheart, fiancée, or wife as a token of their devotion. This would later extend to new mothers who would receive visits on 1 May from family and friends bearing gifts of bunches of the fragrant white flower to fill the house as a good luck charm for the baby. People also began to send cards on 1 May featuring images of le muguet to wish each other luck and love.
Around 85% of France’s lily of the valley is grown in the Nantes area with the rest coming from Bordeaux.
Today, the French continue to offer lily of the valley to their loved ones, friends, family and colleagues on 1st of May, with many families getting up early to go into the woods to pick the flowers themselves. Plants and bouquets are widely available for sale across the country and it’s estimated that some 60 million sprigs are sold in France for this Bank Holiday celebration each year.
