So sorry I'll be missing these fabulous flower shows, since I am a garden writer. Alas, I'll be back in Sept. The apartment in Avignon was 18th century and lovely.

It's a festival of Rare Plants and Natural Gardens. You can visit http://www.plantes-rares.com for the programme that includes conferences, animations and exhibitions though it's all in French. <br /><br />I agree that Edmund de Waal's story 'The Hare with Amber Eyes' relates an incredible journey and the Villa Ephrussi is not to be missed for its gardens and views of the mediterranean sea. <br /><br />I also got the chance a few years ago to visit the Expo Rose in Grasse. The roses' perfumes and colours are a feast.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Nathalie Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201816984547130342noreply@blogger.com
