    I’ve been binge watching you , on and off, today. Oh, how I envy you! I would love to be able to live in the native country which my parents had such a strong connection and love for even though their parents came from France via Quebec. I was raised with such a true respect and love for my French heritage.
    So sad my ancestors left France under the rule of Louis the XIV. My six times great grandfather was sent by the king to assist in establishing”New France”.
    His name was Michel and he was very well educated for the time : He left France , about 1716, and settled along the St. Lawrence River. He was the town judge, among many other things, during this time. One other ancestor was a Filles du Rois or king’s daughter. You probably have heard of the kings daughters. She , also, left France to settle in Quebec. I have researched and found so much information concerning my French ancestors. I am so happy I have found your channel. Please do keep the videos coming!

      Fascinating! I just read the Wikipedia article on the filles du roi. City girls for the most part. You would think they’d have been selected from rural populations where they would know how to run a farm. Though an urbanité would indeed have been better suited to the duties of an administrator like your great great...... grandfather. She must have been very pretty. They said the prettiest girls settled in Quebec! You’ll have to come over and do some research! You may be related to Madonna or Angelina Joly!

    You asked about the green berries, which are Hypericum, available in soft white, peach, various shades of red and green.

      Hi Leslie, I’ve only recently discovered how fun and easy it is to your own arrangements. I’m thinking about planting lavender too this year, on my balcony, to replace the boxwood balls that died when we were away all summer escaping Covid gloom. Hmmm, maybe we should try lavender arrangements 🤔

    I enjoyed your guided tour to the wonderful florist. The plants and flowers were amazing and I liked the moss plant containers at the first shop. You did a great job on the arrangement the green berry’s really added to it. The other day we had a Koala come in our tree just out the back and I thought of you and even took a video. Blessings and Happy Easter to you x🐇💐

      Darn! You just missed one in the Tuileries. I don’t know of actual events, but you might see if you can tour the flower pavillon at the Rungis market, the largest wholesale food market in France, outside Paris. Not sure how you’d go about it 🤔. Were I in town then I’d go along!
