 On 13 March 1791 the electors of Indre-et-Loire met in Tours in the cathedral.They were harangued by members of the Société des Amis de la Constitution, who pressed for the election of their President, a former Oratorian by the name of Ysabeau, who, however, could not muster a majority.Instead on the next day the electors chose Pierre Suzor, the curate of Ecueillé.
