Lavender blues ..
I am so excited to see fields of lavender in France when hubby and I go on holiday in July !!! According to the Lonely Planet’s ‘France’ book, July is time for lavender …
While in Paris – we have two extra days there – I would love to visit a perfumery. Not one is mentioned in the book. I bought Lonely Planet ‘Paris’ this morning but at a quick glance there aren’t any mentioned either. Jeanette and Lance visited Paris quite a few years ago and visited Fragonard as part of a tour, finding the experience very interesting. Does anyone know of any perfumeries open to the public/tourists?

Wonderful photographs.
Regards and best wishes
Man oh man these photos are amazing, well done and thanks so much for sharing.
Come pop around and visit me for a few days when you this side of the world!
Thanks Marcelle – I am having fun with the camera!!!
Would love … love …. love to pop in but we are limited with time sadly. We are doing a Trafalgar tour around France and then spending an extra two days in Paris to see as much as we can.
Stunning 🙂

I like the look of this one… http://www.guerlain.com/int/en/base.html#/en/la-maison-guerlain/maisonguerlain-subtitle/les-ateliers-parfum/
Thanks my girl. All look so interesting but the Fragonard one is probably the best, time-wise, and it’s free ! So much to see elsewhere too. Would love to do a workshop though – next time 🙂 !! Guerlain looks amazing .. imagine a spa treatment there!!!!
Beautiful photographs. Enjoy the planning.
The lavender pics are so beautiful and I am still (and will keep on to be) jealous about your trip. You are so going to enjoy it and you better come back and show us lots of pictures.
