La Roseraie

The rose garden (la roseraie) in the Parc de la Tête d’Or has an abundance of flowers at the moment. For a lot of the year it sits there quietly, unadorned, in shades of green.

The daffodils came and went at the beginning of spring, and now it is a sea of pink and red roses. On a warm day, with their perfume wafting through the air, it is simply delightful.
