In Romania there are several customs that mark the return of spring:
Martisor (March 1st) is a typical Romanian celebration that marks the return of spring. On this day women receive "martisoare" from their acquaintances as signs of gratitude. People think that these "martisoare" bring happiness and luck. Traditionally they are made of a red and white bow - red means winter and white spring - and to the bow there are added other symbols of luck, like four-leaf clover, horseshoe, chimney sweeper, harts.

Touristic information
Known first and foremost as the capital of gastronomy, the second largest city of France should be included on the list of the holiday destinations of any passionate traveler. However, Lyon is also known for several other attractions, besides the culinary ones, among which its incredibly rich architecture and historical buildings.
At the beginning of the 19th century, Lyon had the most developed silk industry when Joseph Jacquard, an inhabitant of the city, invented the automatic loom which changed dramatically the manufacturing of the fabric. The city became famous when Lumière brothers invented in Lyon the first rotary cinema. The Lumière Institute is now an attraction not to be missed. Lyon is one of the most beautiful Renaissance cities of Europe, where perfectly preserved houses and stores stretch along picturesque streets, keeping so much of the atmosphere of the past centuries.
