Paris for a day,Winter Seminar Special.

Parisian flower shops are just that, flowers flowers and more flowers.Most times crammed into small shops that spiil out into the street all weathers but utterly romantic and luxuriant .In Winter in January they  are vocative, filled with Paeonies  and  perfumed spring flowers ,while the  window displays were difficult to tear ones self away from.We think a visit  to Paris has to include the Branly Museum, designed by architect Jean Nouvel  not only for the sense of scale and in comparison to the jewel box florist shops we look at but to take a walk along th Seine and cross the river to see Patrick Le Blanc's  plant wall or vertical garden  with  its 15.000 plants and then  to walk through the  horizontal Gardens within the  complex by Gilles Clement . The museum is a  marvel of three  professional Masters working side by side to such  brlliant ends.Here the two  gardens  meet on an avenue corner with the iconic  Eiffel Tower soaring right behind .
