La Vraie-Croix

With its label “Village Fleuri 4 fleurs“, the commune of La Vraie-Croix has also distinguished itself by obtaining the Grand Prix National du Fleurissement, and then the European Prize for Flowering.

In 2018, the commune was confirmed the label “4 flowers” and awarded the exceptional prize of the “Fleur d’Or”. This trophy rewards the flowering, but also the quality and management of green spaces in respect of the environment.

Lately, themed gardens (fuchsias, dahlias, sage) have been created and allow you to discover unusual varieties. This typically Breton village, marries both the beauty of the stone and the beauty of the plants.

Rochefort-en-Terre

From 1903, Alfred Klots, an American painter, regularly stayed in Rochefort-en-Terre, revived the castle and invested in local life: as early as 1911, he created the first flowered window contest and stimulated the taste of the people of Rochefort for their heritage, thus putting in place the foundations of a tourist activity.

In 1959, when the contest was launched, Rochefort-en-Terre was already well flowered. The commune will win the competition 4 years in a row before being put out of the competition.

In 2010, the tourist office obtained the first national prize for the flowering of tourist offices.

To be discovered in particular, a mauve wisteria, more than 100 years old, which climbs up the facade of the Town Hall.

Cities and Villages in bloom

No less than 9 municipalities out of the 13 that make up Questembert Community are concerned.

In addition to La Vraie-Croix and Rochefort-en-Terre, we find Le Cours which now has 1 petal. Saint-Gravé 2 petals, Questembert, Berric and Larré have 3 petals and Caden 4 petals !

As for the commune of Lauzach, it got its 1st flower in the towns and villages in bloom competition.

It is necessary to obtain 4 petals to get 1 flower at its town entrance. It’s no longer enough, today, to plant flowers on every corner to hope to attract the attention of the jury. Modern flowering is inseparable from consideration of biodiversity, environmental protection and sharing with residents.

These local dynamics spill over to a higher level and contribute to the labeling of Morbihan as a Fleuri Department. This distinction is awarded to territories which are involved in an exemplary manner in the animation of the “Villes et Villages Fleuris” label and the support of municipalities.
