I will be travelling to France in July from Cherbourg to Lourdes to Paris and back to Cherbourg.

Does anyone have suggestions of ornamental gardens to visit en route.

Ron,
I am putting together a tour of French gaardens for next spring, so any information thatyou receive from your inqu8iry I would appreciate.
Don't miss the Albert Kahn garden in Paris. If you can't find any info on it, I"d be glad to send you the address and directions if I still have them.

Ron,

How was yourJuly tourofFrench gardens? I hade-mailed you a suggestion of the Albert Kahn in Paris. Did you get a chance to go?

I loved Bagatelle in the Bois de Boulgone (spelling!) Beautiful roses lovely house.

A friend and I are travelling to Europe for the summer after
graduating from Texas A&M.
We'd like to work out of France for two months part-time

My degree is in Horticulture (and Agri.Journalism). Would
anyone happen to have any leads as to where I could work
in French garden or nursery? No negative feedback please.

I have been to Giverny( Claude Monet's home & garden) three times. I think it is the most exquisite garden imaginable!
It is lovely in April, June or August.

I even had teenagers request a return on a subsequent trip to France.
Not to be missed!

In Paris, le Parc de Buttes Chaumont is well worth a visit.
It deserves to be better known to visitors from North America.It is served by at least two stops of the Metro, one with the name Buttes Chaumont so all you have to do to find it is look at a map of the Metro system. If I remember correctly another stop called Lumiere will serve but involve more walking. An even more interesting way is by boat on the canal that goes underground. Leave from Quaid'Orsay and you
will finish the boat trip about noon, buy some picnic food
nearby and enjoy it there or in the park.
