Salon International de L'Agriculture

Tom with his John Deere hat on - trying to look like a farmer in Paris... The Agricultural Fair is held every year in Paris (Porte de Versailles). It, of course, includes all the farm animals in France as well as all the products produced in France.

The cutest French piglets ever!!


Sleeping pig...


Lemon tree...

A view of one of the 7 exhibition halls...


Really good sandwiches from Corscia! When we told her that we were from the U.S., she said "O-ba-ma!!" and then "Yes, we can!". Everyone I have ever met in France loves Obama - it's a great thing!



Yummy!



Enjoying a beer from "Les Brasseurs de Lorraine"...


Children folk dancing in the aisles...


Rachlette (?)..that big moon shaped thing is cheese and the thing to the right of it is a heater (?) that melts the cheese....



Lots of meats....

Lots of wines...
Honey...
