Jardins, Jardin 2023

Yesterday I ate a hot air balloon 🎈 cookie 🍪 

I sniffed beaucoup beautiful roses 🌹 

I tried a new perfume,

La Fleur d’oranger 🍊 from Chanel. 
Don’t these perfume touches remind you…


The orange 🍊 trees in the Chanel jardin

Remind me of Winslow Homer orange 🍊 watercolor 
Yesterday I went to the annual Paris Jardins, Jardin show . 
Always 4 days in the beginning of June. Summer has arrived.
I’d love this forest green summery dress..wouldn’t you?
The garden show always takes place in the Tuileries jardins. This is the 18th year & my 5th attendance 
Designed FYI by the renown French landscape designer, ANDRE LE NOTRE
The show is on through Sunday 👏
A wonderful escape from city buzz & Something for everyone 
I would love a petit greenhouse Wouldn’t you?
Bouygues Immobilier gave out delicious, healthy snacks and basil seeds for your petit balcon if you have one…I wish 🤔
You can order authentic chaises 🪑 from Edmond & Fils for your petit balcon
They provide all the green chaises we love ❤️ so much at the Tuileries and other parcs. 
Plus they made my miniature green chaise. 
I proudly showed the grandson my chair watercolor ✏️ ☺️ 
Fun garden coverups to protect your nice shoes from mud
I talked shop 🎨 with flower artist, Jean-François Gaulthier from Pont Aven.
His first year at Jardins, Jardin. He’s done flower murals and even painted a harpsichord! 
Gaultier will be at La Journée de la Rose 🌹 at Domaine de Chaalis next weekend 
I plan to attend 🙏 if I can figure out how to get to Chaalis.
These are called la rose dentelle because of the little bites 🦷 in the petals? Or maybe because they are lacy?
I bought peonies from the stand. 2.50 a stem 🌸👏🤸‍♂️
You could sign up to become a fleuriste. 
I came home after 3+ hours, exhausted & happy with peonies 🌸 to paint 🎨 
I put up my legs for 20 minutes & felt instantly refreshed (*my newest health tip👍) 
Don’t miss out on Jardins, Jardin if you’re in Paris
Thank you PBers for all the LOVE ❤️ you showed the Paris breakfast post. 15,000 views! More cups of coffee ☕️ coming up 👍
If you like ❤️ this post, you can support Parisbreakfast by 
buying my letters 💌 and watercolors from Paris ❤️

    Yes! I would love one of those mini-greenhouses. The more ornate the better. It would become my tea house. A small table, two chairs (Edmond & Fils?), flowery china, lots of flowers (preferably peonies!). Heaven. Lars

    Yikes on getting to Chaalis! RER D to Fosses…but then what??
    Is Fosses even big enough to have a taxi to get you to the Château??
    Even Chaalis website ONLY gives driving (by car) directions. 🙁 Chelmsley

    I go NOWHERE when it’s hot…just can’t tolerate the heat anymore. I try to get everything accomplished during the cool morning hours.
    BUT, I’d brave the heat for Jardin Jardin!
