For the second year in a row, we have visited the rose and iris gardens of the Bagatelle. This year with Dawn during her visit to us -- and one month earlier than last year. And it was worth coming earlier! The roses were magnificent and the irises as well. These gardens were built by a Scot (of all things) named Thomas Blaikie, who began them during the reign of Louis XVI working closely with the Comte d'Artois (the funder), brother in law of Marie Antoinette.
The photos speak for themselves (view them or the slideshow).
