Valentine’s Day, Tuesday February 14, is celebrated even in retirement homes. Because love, meetings, are not reserved only for young people. The proof in Mulhouse in the Haut-Rhin, where residents of two nursing homes lent themselves to the game of “Turn carousel”.

On an accordion tune, the boys are placed on the left, the girls on the right. Between them, a curtain and absurd questions. The ingredients of a flagship program of the 80s are united, except that here it is an inter-Ehpad meeting. The candidates lend themselves to the game, incredulous. “At first I thought it was a joke”says Pierrot Kranitz, resident of the “Les Ecureuils” nursing home.

Make life sweeter

The women got ready. We have the right to dream, but with a lot of humor. Even old, we have the right to seduce, to keep our self-esteem, to still hope for the meeting. This Valentine’s Day game at the Ehpad is just an excuse to make life sweeter. “It reminds them of memories of their childhood, where there were all these love games, these games of seduction”says Mario Lelubez, psychologist.
