I visited the floral shop of George Francois on Saturday morning on the 5th June 2010. 3 Japanese florists were preparing to place plants outside. I said Bonjour to the middle aged guy, who is Monsieur George Francois. He is often introduced on some of Japanese floral magazines, so I recognized him easily. Unfortunately, my French is very limited, so I asked Tomoko who is a partner of George to translate.
The shop is full of plants, flowers and antiques. I happened to find that there is a lesson on next Monday, so I booked a floral lesson.
I have floral classes at my shop in Sydney as well. It was a really good chance to see his French style of arrangements and bouquets.
On Monday 7th, I went back to the shop and had a lovely lesson with him.
Another Japanese Lady had a lesson with apples and flowers and I did a large Bouquet rond (Very large! and his style).
