Church on Sunday...and more flower power

While in Tours last Saturday we passed by the cathedral where a lot of activity was going on, of the floral kind...

...this drew us into the cathedral itself...

...where  we were met by a pyramid of vegetables...

and fabulous displays of flowers and vegetables throughout the cathedral. 

All the side chapels had individual displays.

We should really have asked what was going on - harvest festival perhaps? - but thought all I had to do was go back and check out 'tinternet (homage to Tim) and answers would spill out - but no, not a mention!

Even Joan took a back seat to the first bishop of Tours who had been bizarrely  reinvented as Santa Clause!
