Les Jardins de Provence near Grez sur Loing

Just an absolute gem of a place on the main route between Fontainebleau and Nemours. It's almost a tourist attraction. We take our guests there. And, finally, at Christmas it turns into a Christmas wonderland.

Yes, it's a garden shop. A really big garden shop that children find interesting though. Try it, you'll be surprised and probably come home with a baby bucket and spade or something.

On top of all that they sell vegetables (good selection) outside by the childrens merry go round that I have never seen open. And just behind the vegetable shop there is a cage with chickens and sheep and other animals in it.

And then there is Christmas

Which brings us to Christmas. Every Christmas Les Jardins de Provence not only sells trees (and gives a refund for their return in January) but also sells a lot of decorations and decorates itself until it becomes a bit of a Chistmas wonderland for children. And, if that isn't enough this year there was also a petting zoo at the end.
