Send flowers to Istanbul from France
Same-day delivery across Istanbul, arranged and delivered by our own florists. You pay in euros, and the cut-off is 17:00 Paris time in summer, 16:00 in winter. We deliver within Istanbul only.
Three things worth knowing before you order
One hour ahead in summer, two in winter
Turkey does not change its clocks, France does. From late March to late October Istanbul is one hour ahead of Paris, so our 18:00 same-day cut-off is 17:00 your time. From late October to late March the gap is two hours and the cut-off is 16:00 in France. The week the clocks change is when most late orders slip to the next day.
Euros, French cards and PayPal
You see prices in euros and you are charged in euros, at the rate fixed when you order, so there is no conversion on your statement. French bank cards work normally, including CB cards co-branded with Visa or Mastercard, and PayPal is available. Delivery anywhere in Istanbul is free and a handwritten card is included.
Chrysanthemums mean something else here
In France chrysanthemums belong on graves at Toussaint, and many French customers avoid them for a birthday. In Turkey they carry no such meaning and are an ordinary, cheerful gift flower. If the recipient is Turkish, you can choose them without worry. If they are French and living in Istanbul, you may prefer roses, lilies or a seasonal bouquet.
What people in France usually send
Questions from customers in France
17:00 French time in summer and 16:00 in winter, which is 18:00 in Istanbul either way. Istanbul stays on UTC+3 all year, so the gap changes when French clocks change, on the last Sunday of March and of October. Orders after the cut-off are delivered on the next date you choose.
No. Turkey celebrates Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May, while France celebrates it on the last Sunday of May, or the first Sunday of June when that Sunday is Pentecost. For a mother in Istanbul, the Turkish date is the one she will be expecting, usually two to three weeks before the French one.
Yes. The card is handwritten in Istanbul and we copy your message as you type it, in French. For a Turkish recipient many customers add a short line in Turkish, such as İyi ki doğdun for a birthday or Başınız sağ olsun for condolences.
Yes. Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg are on the same time as Paris, so the cut-off is the same: 17:00 your time in summer and 16:00 in winter. You pay in euros. We do not show prices in Swiss francs, so from Switzerland your card is charged in euros and your bank converts the amount.
Yes, every day of the week, on the same nine delivery windows. French public holidays such as Toussaint or 14 July are ordinary working days in Istanbul. We deliver within Istanbul only, to all 39 districts on both the European and the Asian side, with our own vans.
