Yesterday and today, the Champs-Elysée are being transformed into a forest and fields.The goal of the operation is to raise awareness about the state of agriculture in the country and also to educate people about the lives of young farmers today.
We tried to go there early on Sunday, but only managed to get there by 11am... it was already crowded. I got some satisfaction seeing that it got even more filled with hoard of people later in the afternoon.Despite the number of visitors, everyone could see the plantations. But it must have been quite a sight to see the full length on the avenue filled with plantation and trees and NO HEADS!
One small critic : there were enough enough signs to read the explanations. It was fun to hear parents tell their kids that : "this is where bananas come from".And there were animals too !

Did it work?
Or was it just a mini amusement park for bobos?
