Paris, France, Champs-Elysees, French Farmers Giant Garden, City Center, "Nature Capitale" Mustard Sign


Paris, France, "French Farmers turned Paris' most famous street into a huge tract of farmland to illustrate their financial plight. The Champs-Elysees, known for fancy shops, restaurants and romantic couples, instead was covered with trees, flowers and cows, pigs and sheep. Organizers say that they hope the two-day display will remind city dwellers where their food comes from, and will garnish more support for financially strapped farmers. Many French farmers are struggling to stay in business, faced with dropping food prices and high operating costs" (AP)
