France : The violets of Toulouse MOIRENC Camille / Hemis.fr


Violets are discreet wild flowers that are bold enough to flower in winter during the cold season. It is impossible not to stoop to pick these little flowers that, despite the difficulties involved, are now cultivated. They are made into bouquets and also used in an amazing number of delicatessen products. The violets of Toulouse are related to those of Parma and were introduced into France during the reign of Napoleon III. In 1985 they became a registered brand : the violets of Toulouse. They are no longer just a flower, they have become a symbol‌
