The Salon de l’Agriculture is all about featuring the best of France’s farms, farmers, animals, food and drink products, and the agricultural way of life. The show occupies seven massive halls and is broken down into four aspects: live animals, crops-plants and gardening, gastronomy in France and abroad, and agriculture-related services and businesses.
