The Flowers!!!!

There were flower markets all over - as many as boulangeries. I couldn't figure out how all these flower shops could stay in business - then I watched as the locals would come into town and pick up their fresh bread and their fresh flowers. Wow! It is a staple in the French way of life and I loved it.

While I was there the peonies were in season and we saw them everywhere in every shade.

Flower boxes were along the streets, planted pots in town, and just gorgeous flowers everywhere we looked.
