Fete de la Rose, Rose Sale, Fetes de Juin Map

June in Paris is one big festival!

Bear went to  FETE DE LA ROSE at PARC DE BAGATELLE on Sunday afternoon. I've been painting roses since. 

Most of the buses changed routes and schedules in April.

Catch bus #244 at Metro Porte Maillol (exit 6 at Bd. Andre Maurois ). The 244 will be waiting. It stops in front of Fondation Louis Vuitton. Then a few stops later at the gardens. Follow the dirt path to the Porte d'Honneur. Voila. 

La Bagatelle was built in 1777 and covers 62 acres.

Inside the Orangery you can buy bouquets, perfumes, rose ice cream, lollypops and get rose news.

Oh anything rose-enhanced like these sparkling waters. Just outside rose bushes to take home were for sale.

A number of guests were decked out in 18th century costume.

Or picnicking on the grass. Perfect for doodling.

The annual competition of New Roses was on. Everyone was up close and personal, inhaling deeply. Perfume can not begin to come close to the scent of these beauties.

We were given forms to vote on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd preferred roses. Plus the most perfumed. "Ah the smell of it"

We brought home this little bouquet in a bucket(3€!) Immediately we immersed ourselves painting roses 🌹
