Join me on a gorgeous floral tour of Paris
Paris – City of Love, City of Light, and City of Flowers.
I wrote and photographed Paris in Bloom to transport you, my friends, on a sumptuous floral tour of the city. An unashamedly romantic celebration of her floral charms, Paris in Bloom was inspired by my first visit to the city as a teenager. Picnics in flower-filled parks along the Seine, up-close viewings of Impressionist paintings, observation of the Parisian art of presentation and wonder at the magnificence of the architecture all had a profound effect on my artistic journey.
In addition to hundreds of photographs taken over the last several years, inside I share my personal recommendations for the best flower markets and floral boutiques, parks and gardens. Along with a guide to locating the prettiest spring blossoms in the city, I include a field guide for identifying the most common flowers and blooming trees. You’ll even find a step-by-step lesson to create your own Parisian-style floral arrangement for your home and much more!
Timeless in content, Paris in Bloom is a book for Paris lovers to savor again and again, one to keep on your nightstand to inspire dreams of your first, or next, visit to this glorious city.

Reviews
“I don’t know how Georgianna does it. She manages to make Paris, the most beautiful city in the world, appear even more charming, more elegant and more beautiful than it already is. When she says ‘…this book is my love letter to the French capital, an unapologetically romantic celebration of her abundant floral charms’, I couldn’t agree more. This is a love letter that must be opened and enjoyed and displayed on your desk or table, some place close at hand in order that you may return to it often. Paris in Bloom is filled with a veritable carpet of pinks and whites, pastels and green portraits that make me let out an audible sigh of joy. This book can re-inspire you to believe that yes, life really is quite beautiful.”
Doni Belau, Author of Paris Cocktails & Founder of Girls’ Guide to Paris
