Poppies are a common sight in France, particularly in the countryside, where they grow in fields and along roadsides. The most common species of poppy in France is the red poppy, or Papaver rhoeas, which is also known as the Flanders poppy.
The red poppy has become a symbol of remembrance for those who lost their lives in the First World War, and is particularly associated with the poppy fields of Flanders in Belgium. The tradition of wearing a poppy on Remembrance Day, November 11th, began in the UK, but has spread to other countries, including France.
In addition to their symbolic significance, poppies are also used in France as a medicinal plant. The seeds can be used to make a sedative tea, and the petals have been used traditionally to treat a variety of ailments, including coughs, indigestion, and insomnia.
Overall, poppies are a beloved and culturally significant plant in France, with both symbolic and practical uses that continue to be appreciated and celebrated.
