Everyday places as meeting grounds

The study shows that citizens are turning their living spaces into real connection points. Restaurants, bars, gyms, cultural venues, and parks are revealed as the favored backdrops for these intersections full of potential. With over five million "Spots" added in 2025, happn confirms that spontaneous meetings remain essential, even in an era where digital apps shape the first exchanges.

2025, a record year for interactions

User activity has continued to rise throughout the year, with notable peaks in August, the most intense month of 2025. January 5, the most active day, illustrates the desire for renewal that follows the holidays. Sundays are proving to be the ultimate connection day.

Especially around 8 PM, that special time when we sit down, chat, and crush on someone.

This year's trends reveal what single folks are vibing with: chill evenings, cultural outings, football, concerts, culinary moments, or wine tastings. All these activities resonate beautifully in Bordeaux, a city where culture, friendliness, and the art of living are deeply rooted.
