7 World-Famous Flower Towns So Beautiful You'll Want to While Away the Rest of Your Life There

I often see friends who work with flowers posting all kinds of travel photos when they go on trips, and over time I've noticed one thing they all have in common: everyone has an "occupational habit." No matter where they travel, there's always a trace of flowers in their photos. Some go treasure-hunting at famous local flower markets, while others check in at trendy flower shops.

Although the flowers available vary somewhat from place to place, it's clear that none of us can resist fresh flowers or a beautiful flower shop. Today I'd like to introduce seven world-famous flower towns, so we can all take a look at different flower cultures together.

1.

Alberobello

Apulia，Italy

Alberobello is a small town in Italy. "Blue sky, white walls, grey roofs" is the most immediate impression people have of the town. Walking along its streets, this palette of blue and white gives you an "unreal" feeling.

2.

Giverny

Giverny，France

Giverny is located on the outskirts of Paris, France. Most people probably know Giverny because Monet once lived here, which is why people also call it "Monet's town." With its white-walled farmhouses and red roofs, every corner is like an Impressionist landscape painting.

3.

Spello

Spello,Italy

Spello is a small town in the Umbria region of central Italy, and it is the most beautiful small town in Italy. The stone walls of the houses here are covered with flowers planted by the town's residents, making you feel as if you're immersed in a sea of flowers.

Every year in June, the people of Spello hold their one-of-a-kind flower festival, Infiorata. On this day, all the main streets and squares of Spello are covered with flower carpets made of dried flower petals, and it is extremely beautiful.

4.

Bibury

Bibury，England

Bibury is called the most beautiful village in England, and its effortless elegance is a microcosm of English charm. Traditional English stone cottages a thousand years old, babbling streams, lush flowers and plants, and graceful swans, all in perfect harmony.

5.

Colmar

Colmar，France

Colmar is a small town in Alsace in northeastern France, and it is famous for its canals and flower boats.

The whole town of Colmar is filled with a fairy-tale atmosphere. What's more, "Little Venice" is the finest part of Colmar: a canal flows through it, and the water's surface reflects all the colours that belong to the town. The petals that occasionally fall onto flower-filled shop windows, the traces left by flower boats passing through the narrow waterways, all give Colmar an extra touch of refinement and liveliness.

6.

Eguisheim

Eguisheim，France

Eguisheim is located in France, with colourful houses lining the narrow streets on both sides and flowers and plants on every windowsill. Strolling along the streets feels like being in a wonderful dream. Its ancient, profound history, its rich and colourful culture, its exquisite and lovely architectural style, and its winding, romantic streets all give Eguisheim a unique and captivating charm.

7.

Yvoire

Yvoire，France

Yvoire is located in eastern France and is a pearl on the shores of Lake Geneva. The town is not large; you can walk around it in about half an hour, and it's perfect for wandering aimlessly through the alleys with the person you love.

After seeing these towns, it occurs to me that there are now more and more flower towns in China too. Next time I'll take you to see them as well, shall we? Or if you've checked in at any of them, you're welcome to leave a comment and let me know!
