Hundreds of Cows...in Paris?

You know the French take food and their provincial roots seriously, but did you know that each year thousands of farm animals and local food products from throughout France travel to Paris for a giant exposition? For just a few euros, come marvel at the many stadium-sized exposition halls filled with animals and agricultural products.

The featured foods are a major highlight: cheeses and wines from every region are showcased in booths for your tasting pleasure. Don't be surprised if you come home with a case of wine and a bag full of groceries.
