Chrysanthemums for November

If you visit the Loire Valley in November you will notice that chrysanthemums are everywhere. The skies may be grey and the weather damp, but public gardens, balconies and florists are a riot of colour thanks to dozens of flower packed chrysanthemum balls. But why are they so popular? It's not just because they are hardy and conveniently flower at this time of year. Find out the full story when you book a tour with us in November.
