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!
