French Flower Day: bouquet hunt and free events in the Paris region

To celebrate French, local and seasonal flowers, on September 17, 2023 we're inviting you to take part in a series of events and bouquet hunts across the country, with local horticulturists and florists.

Thanks to French florists and horticulturists, we can easily find fresh, beautiful, local flowers just around the corner. To celebrate their work and showcase their expertise, the Collectif de la Fleur Française is offering a dedicated day for the third year, on September 17, 2023. For a few hours, take advantage of a nationwide bouquet hunt and numerous events and workshops to share the French flower, part of a heritage that will be celebrated that same weekend.

By 2022, almost 1,000 bouquets had been deposited in public places across France, delighting hundreds of people, because who doesn't love receiving a pretty bouquet of flowers as a thoughtful gift from a loved one? Each florist or boutique taking part in this great bouquet hunt will compose a dozen or so bouquets, then devise a route to disperse them near their home, the clues to which will be given via Instagram and on the CFF website on Sunday. A fun way to discover the diversity of French flowers!

But that's not all, because these places also offer open houses, so you can discover their day-to-day work, whether it's florists, urban gardens or flower farms. The program also includes lectures, exhibitions, quizzes, floral picnics and workshops where you can create with your own hands, all free of charge! All you have to do is find the one nearest you!
