1er Mai, La Fête du Muguet
Les muguets des bois portent le bonheur
The first of May (May day), here in France is known as La Fête du Muguet. On nearly every street-corner throughout the city, countless vendors can be found selling plants, sprigs, and bouquets. The tradition is that on this day, people trade gifts of sweet-smelling muguet (lily of the valley) to their friends and loved ones for good luck and to celebrate the arrival of spring.
So naturally, we had to participate and picked up a couple to give to friends and for ourselves.
