A revolution in the fields: meeting women farmers. The Agricultural Show, which opens its doors this Saturday in Paris, will also be an opportunity to highlight these women.
In sixty years, this event, the most popular in France with more than 600,000 visitors in 9 days, has also seen the place of women evolve.
