Saint-Quentin Basilica

Unlike many cities I've visited in France, Saint-Quentin does not have a cathedral. Instead, it has a Basilica, which is quite impressive (though not as grand as some cathedrals I've seen).

Last weekend, the Basilica hosted a flower show where creative floral arrangements were placed throughout the interior space. It was a fun way to see the Basilica for the first time; adding flowers and plants made the austere stone look completely different. Some of the flowers were even placed on statues, dressing them up in fun ways.
