Parc De Triomphe


Paris went back to nature for two days over the weekend as the Champs-Elysees became home to 8,000 fields of imported soil, giant containers planted with wheat, beans, vines, mustard, bananas, pineapples for the two day "Nature Capitale." The exhibition, the planting of which began late on Saturday night, continued through today, which in France is a bank holiday, with the aim of demonstrating that food does not actually grow in supermarkets.

This isn't the first time that the famous avenue has been given over to the countryside, the last time that happened was back in the 1990's. This years event was expected to attract some two million visitors.

we think the same way...both these posts (and the Pac-man one obviously) I had thought about doing...and with similar titles!

I was on an 'orange' train of thought...Sevilla (Spanish Cup) Blackpool, Farming and I would have found something to tie in Mourinho too! Didn't post it though!
