CHÉDIGNY

ch

We arrived in France the weekend of the Festival des Roses at Chédigny.

It’s a pretty and picturesque village and all the houses seemed to have roses climbing all over them.

Of course, the roses are there for weeks, not just for the festival.  But for one weekend there are craft stalls, food stalls, musicians, artists and people selling…….roses.

Also hydrangeas, some of which were just as beautiful as the roses.

It was a lovely warm and sunny afternoon.  We had spent the morning shopping as we were expecting visitors – they should have arrived by now but were a day late.  We had intended to take them with us to the Festival des Roses but they missed it.  Quel dommage !!

The flowers were beautiful and the air was filled with fragrance, music and happy voices.  It was a wonderful way to start our holiday.
