PARIS MARKET PEONIES

June 2, 2020

PEONY PARADISE AT THE PARIS MARKETS

The Parisian markets have a way of displaying peonies that, at least as far as we have seen, is unique. They carefully stack the peonies in a very structured way, separating the layers so that they form huge walls of the beautiful blooms, without damaging them in any way. Quite a feat of engineering as well as an aesthetic accomplishment!

In this post we’re simply going to show you some photos for you to enjoy. There’s really not a lot to be said about them. They were mostly taken at the Marché Président Wilson and the Marché Bastille but there are other markets which have similar displays (Saxe-Breteuil for example) and some of these images are from them.

We hope you enjoy the photos. As usual, if you can click on a photo, it means it’s available in the shop as a print or canvas. Also as usual, if you see something you would like a print or canvas of but don’t find in the shop, just drop us a line.

As you might expect, the idea is to buy some peonies at the market and take them home with you, The owners of the market stalls will arrange and wrap a bouquet for you.

And if you happen to stop at a café on your way home, you will find all sorts of settings for lovely peony photos.

Of course it’s not only at the markets that you can buy peonies, but the markets display them in such an unforgettable way! Here is a flower shop with a display that spills into the street, as many of them do.

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

If you love peonies we would like to recommend two resources that you should not miss.

The first is the Château de Sourches – Conservatoire de la Pivoine. You can read all about this wonderful treasure for peony lovers on their website. It’s in French so you can also get a chance to brush up! You can follow them on Instagram @lapivoinedesourches.

The second is the book, Peonies, written by Jane Eastoe with fabulous photographs by Parisian Moments co-founder Georgianna Lane. You can read about this book and how to obtain it on Georgianna’s website and follow her on Instagram @georgiannalane.
