A short distance from Dieppe is Veules-Les-Roses, a Normandy fairy tale village, which unveils its velvet and releases stunning aromas year after year in June. The Festival of roses is an event that, if you are in the area, you should not miss it.

Lovers of nature and plants meet at this event every year. A varieties of roses and plants as you never thought there were enchanting your eyes and empty your pockets, because you can not get out of here without buying even a flower, no matter how small. Precious tips about flowers are provided by experienced horticulturists, so don't hesitate to ask them a question or ask them for advice.

Many artisans make their place among the multicolored flowers and place their decorative products for the garden with attention. Your only concern is, from now on, what you should give up and how to make room in your luggage so you can buy one more product. Your eyes often stop at a quadruped who supervises his master and seems satisfied only when the goods begin to empty. You smile even more when the seller gives you a bonus and lets you pet the sulking bulldog on the fishing chair.

What you should know?

The festival takes place every year in June.

Parking spaces are limited. I advise you to park at the exit of the village and from there to walk.

The Festival of roses takes place in the courtyard of the old castle, and the entrance is free.

Veules-Les-Roses is a village that is part of "the most beautiful villages in France", so it is a pleasure to walk the cobbled streets and enjoy the view. The French houses with that 'je ne sais quoi', the river Veules - the smallest river in France, which crosses the village, the ‘madness’ of the flowers blowing everywhere make this place a story. The water mills make a show without an entrance ticket.

You can also enjoy the beach because the village has an exit to the sea. If the weather is nice, a walk on the cliff is what you need for a perfect day. The water of an almost turquoise blue, the impressive rocks and the seaguls who compete with the rays of the sun, will lead you to contemplation. Consider this destination not only for the Festival of roses. It can be the perfect destination for a vacation where the keyword is 'relaxation'. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, without too many things to do or places to visit, Veules-Les-Roses softens your soul from the first touch.
