Autumn - La Toussaint

Toussaint, or All Saint’s Day, is celebrated across France on November 1 each year. The Catholic holiday honors all the saints recognized by the Roman Catholic Church. In honor of La Toussaint, November 1 is a jours férié, a public holiday.

These flowers are traditionally placed in cemeteries, and are very rarely seen growing in gardens.

Here they are for sale on the Allées Paul Riquet in Béziers
