GERBEROY VILLAGE - FRANCE







The village of Gerberoy, listed as one of the most beautiful in France, is a dream destination for lovers of flowers and roses. A walk in this well-kept village is a real delight: narrow paved streets, old houses of the 17th and 18th centuries, climbing roses, wisterias, plants and flowers by thousands... Charmed by this place, the painter Henri Le Sidaner created a magnificent garden there. A very charming village not to be missed!

In June, the Rose festival is an event not to be missed.

Gerberoy is a commune in the Oise department in northern France, in the old pays of Beauvaisis. 

The old village with many half-timbered houses,and traces of the medieval castle, is listed in the plus beaux villages de France (Most beautiful French villages).

The siege and battle of Gerberoy was fought between William the Conqueror and his son Robert Curthose in the winter of 1078-79.
