Every two years in October the "Association Fontaine-Henry Renaissance" organises a plant and garden fair in the grounds of the Château Fontaine-Henry (near Bayeux). At each occasion a flower is named after a local celebrity.
Cette année, le festival était les 6 et 7 octobre. Malheureusement, le temps a gâté l'événement le samedi, mais il n'y avait pas de pluie le dimanche pendant notre visite.
