The promo image shown to us before they announced the new kits was very interesting. And in the description beside it where they hint at the upcoming kits that were announced today, there were travel related hints about going places and being borderless. Which I think is interesting, since France is in the EU, and is famous for essentially being borderless. And one of those kits had a definite travel mention, Incheon Arrivals.
Anyway. I was wondering where I saw that promo image before. And its strikingly similar to the iconic stained glass window in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France.

There's even a continuation of the floral theme, between the flowers in the stained glass, and the flowers in the promo image.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with that decor object they kept pushing awhile back, the french chef who is a pig.
There's also a short plant with oranges. If you look up how oranges are related to France, you'll go down the rabbit hole of the orangeries of the kings of France, and King Louis XIV's orangeries. There are ducks right next to the oranges, who look like they're about to kiss. I'm willing to bet Duck a L'Orange will be a new recipe.
And as someone below mentioned, there's a bottle of nectar mixed in there as well. In Sims 3, Nectar Making was a feature in the France world within the World Adventures expansion pack.
I've had an inkling about a romance pack for awhile. And Paris is known as basically the ultimate city of romance. I'm wondering what others think.
I have a feeling in my gut you might be onto something here. Because it all does make perfect sense the way you laid it out, and the fact that you could see the famous rose window from Norte Dame in this blows my mind! But you’re right, it looks very much like it and then when you take in all the other connections you made it’s impossible not to see it or think it! I really hope you’re right! A France inspired romance pack would be awesome!
