Flower Festival, Hyères, France

Last weekend, Hyères hosted its annual flower festival with an open day event at the Marché aux fleurs. 500 growers produce over 180 million flowers a year, making it the largest flower market in France and the fourth largest in Europe. With information booths, wine and flower tasting, and a flower parade, it was a fascinating look at this colorful aspect of the Hyérois community - see for yourself with my new Flower festival photo gallery.
