Talking about love is wonderful. But talking about money in a relationship? Even better! On Saturday, February 14, 2026, for Valentine’s Day, the Cité de l’Économie, nestled within the stylish Hôtel Gaillard in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, invites couples to a unique experience: an evening of discussions and games focused on the financial issues that shape shared life.
Led by Marie‑Lahya Simon, author and founder of the media outlet À Parts Égales, this event aims to reshape conversations around love by tackling a topic often shunned: money in relationships. The evening unfolds in the intimate, vintage-inspired ambiance of the art deco vault room, complemented by a friendly aperitif to spark open and honest discussions.
You’re in a relationship and want to tackle sensitive topics with humor, kindness, and perspective? This evening is just for you!
Scheduled from 6 PM to 8 PM, this event promises an engaging session filled with new insights. Through an interactive participatory activity designed by Marie-Lahya Simon, couples will embark on a playful journey of conversations to explore their perspectives, habits, and aspirations when it comes to managing their personal and shared finances.
The goal? To take the taboo out of money, foster better understanding, and develop a shared language. A specially designed game for the occasion will energize the conversations, followed by an open discussion over a delicious appetizer spread (drinks and catering included).
Why is it so challenging to talk about money in a relationship? How can you steer clear of unspoken issues, frustrations, or misunderstandings? The event created by the Cité de l’Économie aims to explore these questions in a gentle, inclusive, and supportive way. Whether you’ve been a couple for three months or ten years, this gathering offers a chance to strengthen your connection through a deeper understanding of the economic factors that tie you together.
A creative and inspiring way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, leaving with practical keys to build a future together.
Valentine’s Day, conversations, drinks in Paris, a vault room, and reflections on relationships: all perfect reasons to reserve your spot now. The all-inclusive price of €14 covers entry to the event as well as a friendly aperitif. Sign-ups are open on the Cité de l’Économie’s website.
For Valentine’s Day, the French Economy Museum is opening the doors to its stunning Art Deco vault room, a prestigious remnant of the former Bank of France housed within the Hôtel Gaillard. This unique setting enhances the intimate and refined atmosphere of the event, where each couple will have the chance to enjoy a genuine conversation, in an environment that fosters closeness and reflection.
