French Flair

The Spring Show at Courson takes place on the 14th-16th of May.  It is a charming event, much more informal than the British Shows and is also a wonderful opportunity to see the people of Paris in their country couture.  Needless to say they are incredibly chic.  And the plants are pretty good too. There are usually plenty of British nurseries, but  there are some wonderful French specialists too – everything from trained fruit trees worthy of Versailles to a specialist mimosa grower.  Courson can be reached by train from central Paris and there is a shuttle bus from the local station. www.domaine-de-courson.fr
