Joyeuses Pâques

Paris Rouge - Autumn at Luxembourg Gardens

I don't know about you, but the green chairs in Paris gardens are just about my favorite sight to behold!

Fleuristes à Paris

Since discovering this beautiful shop in 2014, I find myself returning each trip. Stepping inside is like finding yourself enveloped in exquisite bouquets from floor to ceiling. Put it on your list!

Monsieur et ses fleurs

Place des Vosges

I'd say Monsieur has un pouce vert!

Au Nom de la Rose

Sidewalk roses in Paris, j'adore!

Fleurs de novembre

I've been to Paris in November many times and there are always still some hearty geraniums gracing the balconies.

Quick capture of this beautiful young woman, lost in thought at the Medici Fountain at Luxembourg Gardens.

Bienvenue printemps!

Missing bouquets of fresh flowers on the streets, missing springtime in Paris!

Bientôt !

Geranium's will be spilling over balconies all over Paris! 

Bon hiver!

No matter when you visit Paris, you will always find flowers!

Putting On The Ritz...

Joyeuses Pâques

For all of my friends and readers who celebrate this day!

Café le pas sage

Passage du Grand Cerf is one of the nicer passages left in Paris.  Cafe le pas sage is just across from the lovely florist Messages du Grand Cerf so this tiny table was the lucky recipient of this luscious vase of roses.

Des fleurs pour Madame

Monsieur was kind enough to stop and let me smell the roses.  What a thoughtful man. I'll bet she loved them!

Beaucoup de choix

It seems there are florists on every corner in Paris with so many wonderful choices!

Eva tries to pick her favorite.

My entire stay in Paris last January was spent looking longingly through the windows of Hotel Costes Roses Dani Roses' gorgeous shop.  They were always closed.  I knew I had to get inside for my magazine assignment so I got up bright and early (for me) our last day and walked the two blocks down rue St. Honoré determined. I had tried to set up an appointment via email prior but we never set a date so I waltzed in prepared to negotiate.  The gentleman in the shop tried his best to contact someone to give me permission and finally told me he couldn't allow photos as he was not in charge. He asked me to come back later that day.  At about 5:30, as the sun was setting, I slid in the door, introduced myself and this lovely man whose name was Francis looked at me and said, "Madame, I have been waiting for you all day!". On that note, he so very kindly moved vases, helped me set up shots and could not have been kinder.  While I shot, I noticed he was wrapping some roses and I thought it was for a delivery. Non, they were for me. When I thanked him for his kindness, he  handed me the bouquet and said, "For your last night in Paris."  A Paris moment I will never forget.  I walked the blocks back down St. Honoré feeling like the luckiest girl in Paris.

La Vie en Rose

If you've not paid a long visit to the Jardin des Plantes.... you really should.

Une Rose

 This last trip I discovered a delicious flower shop, Roses Costes Dani Roses.  Located in the Hôtel Costes on rue Saint-Honoré, they sell only........roses!  We passed the shop many times before I finally got inside on our last day.  Today I share a window display.  The rose in the vase moved around the crystal drop. Très belle! Never fear, we will return.
