Chedigny Rose Festival 2017

Credit:Connie Barney 2017

We were not able to visit the Chedigny Rose Festival at the weekend due to work commitments but instead went along on Friday assuming preparations would be well under way for the weekend's 'show'. 


We were not disappointed the roses were glorious as we, along with others with the same idea, wound our way through this beautiful village following the scent of the flowers. 












The thing to remember is that Chedigny is worth a visit all year round as it is small enough to stroll around and is pretty in every season. So pretty in fact, that it is the first village in France to be listed as a 'Remarkable Garden'
