These beauties were just hanging out in the patch at the L'Abbaye. I really wanted to ask if I could have one to take home with me. I didn't think the nuns would understand. Since I'd already asked a fair amount of dumb questions (like where is the trash...) I thought it was better if I refrained from asking.
So, the pumpkins stayed in the patch and I returned to Paris with no pumpkins.
These pumpkins are HUGE. Each one probably weighs 10-15 pounds. I don't know why they are different colors, perhaps they are slightly different.
One thing I do know -- these beauties will never have the fate of most American pumpkins -- decorations. They are food. More than likely, they will end up in soup along with the leeks, the cauliflower the carrots and the potatoes.
