Chocolate Roses (!) on display at the Lyonnais chocolatier Bernachon
May 29, 2015, posted by Michelle – This weekend Lyon is hosting the annual Festival of Roses and roses are literally everywhere! At City Hall there was an exhibition of floral arrangements created by the top 50 floral designers; some were architectural, some whimsical, some classical but all were creative and beautiful. Then I wandered out into the city where rose compositions and displays were set up in various squares and gardens. I have so many photos I’d like to share that I created a few galleries so you can see everything at a glance. Click on any individual photo to enlarge it. Enjoy!

Oh my! Absolutely beautiful! I wish I were there. I love the dress with the purple roses, the city fountain covered in roses and the floating roses. So pretty. I know it must have been even more impressive in real life.
