St. Patrick’s Day is one of Ireland’s major religious festivals. It celebrates the country’s patron saint who, according to legend, brought Christianity to the island, popularized the shamrock and freed the country from snakes (no less!). Since the Irish rebellion of 1798, it’s been customary to put green and shamrocks everywhere, as symbols of nationalism. March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day! In France, this festival is less popular than in the UK, but Irish pubs are the perfect place to enjoy the atmosphere! Here are the best Irish pubs in Paris.
