At the #CowFair yesterday, I stumbled upon an event at the northern France regional booth where a singer and everyone within earshot sang Les Corons.
I'm French enough to sing along and know the historic context but not French enough to say if the guy was the TV star he resembled.

The #CowFair (aka Paris International Agriculture Fair) is open but the hall with the cows is still closed to the public while the 🇨🇵 president inaugurates the fair. So I said hi to the international bovines.

#CowFair day for me! It's not yet 9am and we're waiting to be let in. (Fun fact: Last time I was here early waiting for this place to open, it was for #Paris2024 Olympics.)
A large fairgrounds hall with the number 1 on the facade. It's decorated with signs and little flags for the Paris Agricultural Fair. In the foreground, there's a security guard and various people waiting behind a barrier.

I spent the entire weekend at the #CowFair, too busy to post about it much, and I'm going back tomorrow.
But two years ago I took the time to write a blog post with lots of photos on #LettersFromParisAndOtherMissives

I should have known when there was riot police in hall 4.
This is the conference space on top of the Fisheries France stall at the #CowFair, and the guy sitting next to the lady in red is the French president.
At least no one screams insults like they did last year.

Upper part of a stall at the Paris Agricultural Fair with a conference space. There are chairs, the people sitting in them are mostly hidden from view, but you can see the back and head of President Macron and his wife.

Being a #CowFair cow means getting a brush & shave.

Today I got a D-3 mail. Not that I need to be told how to get there: it's where the #CowFair (SIA) takes place in February. Just checked which stations are closed.
To be continued but 4/4 for now.
