I stopped by this lovely little shop because it was close to my friend’s apartment and highly rated here on Google. My friend had had an accident and found herself suddenly hospitalized. She is a woman who deeply appreciates being surrounded by beauty so I wanted to be able to provide her some for her hospital room. The shop owners were absolutely wonderful to work with.

When the French say « La vie est belle » they mean when accompanied weekly by...

I asked them to send me a message in the morning if they could, but frankly I did not expect a reply or for them to accommodate such a last minute order.
When I woke up, I spoke to the lovely Anaïs who was awaiting my call. She made a beautiful bouquet with purple and pink tones as I requested, and for the price, i could not have gotten anything even close to as beautiful if I had used an online service like Bergamotte.
