Salon de l'Agriculture

At the end of February, Paris got in touch with its agricultural side.  Despite the tough exterior and urban luxuries that the Parisian species prides itself for, the sight of a baby lamb or a big poofy chicken makes them go all soft.  Add a couple of really big expo halls chock full of food specialities from around France and the world, and you've got yourself a huge hoedown.  Only the Salon de l'Agriculture can bring people from all over the hectagone to revel in the greatness of France's terroir (and create an environment city folk don't mind the smell of cow and pig butts.)

Nous aimons rien...nous sommes parisiens
