The French love their flowers ... large and small pots, planters, and plots everywhere. We enjoyed so much fresh and delicious food, starting with the bread and the cheese, and including salads and prepared veggies. We saw a lot of lovely vegetable gardens. While waiting for our lunch one day, we witnessed the chef come outside and snip the basil that appeared on my salad only a few minutes later. Here's a tip for you: When purchasing fresh produce at the French markets, do not touch the picture-perfect veggies!
