Farmers paraded around 50 animals, some wearing colourful traditional headgear and floral decorations, through the Buttes-Chaumont park in northeast Paris before the opening of the International Agriculture Show. Parkgoers stood and watched as herds of sheep trotted along pathways besides the park's lake while farmers led brown and white mottled cows on ropes. Four cheese producers were also on hand to give the hundred or so assembled city slickers a taste of their fare. The show, held from February 23 to March 3 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles has as its theme "Men, Women and Their Expertise." The sheep pace across zebra crossings, past cafes and petrol stations, stopping to graze at the base of graffitied public apartment blocks.
