Fleurs de Villes NOËL has returned to Vancouver for the holiday season from December 10 to 19.

It’s a free, self-guided floral art trail through downtown with dozens of festive installations to explore.

This is the third annual visitation of the floral extravaganza to Vancouver and it’s the perfect excuse to wear your best wintery ‘fit and snap some pics while holiday shopping.
