French Virtual Vacation

By Lidy | Published: June 28, 2011

Since our own roses are taking a little break right now {they are busy producing buds again} I’d love to share this beautiful Rose Garden in Sainte Marguerite de Viette, which is in Northern Normandy.

These glorious gardens are part of Les Petits Matins Bleus, where you can rent a sweet French Cottage surrounded by these lush gardens, overlooking stunning valleys where sheep, horses and cows graze in the French country side.

Just imagine yourself eating breakfast at the wooden garden set hidden behind those glorious roses each morning!

Not only is this a glorius place to stay for a vacation, Ann, the owner, has arranged to offer guests cooking lessons, singing lessons, and weekend workshops about jams, mushrooms, setting a rustic French table, and many more things to learn and do.

I’m filing this sweet spot away for my “maybe someday” vacation file!  What places do you have in your maybe someday vacation file?

    What lovely photos! Roses are my favorite and those in France are even better :) I too would love to visit France someday, but for now a virtual tour is just perfect, especially one with roses. Thanks for sharing.

    Have a wonderful day!
    xoxo

    Roses are so beautiful! No wonder they are the number one flower sent on Valentine’s Day. Thank you for sharing. Blessings My friend,

    I agree, a virtual tour is great when the real thing isn’t going to happen any time soon. :)

    That’s just beautiful, Lidy. It looks like a great place to find some relaxation.
    It also reminds me, it actually wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a little vacation.

    Have a blessed 4th of July
