Get as close as possible to the animals
The animations centered around our animal friends and their daily life will not be lacking during this last weekend of the Agricultural Show. The General Agricultural Competition, which celebrates its 150th anniversary this year, will be particularly honored by the big winners strolling through the aisles of the show, proudly displaying their medals. For bee lovers, go to Pavilion 3 to discover their world and their life in the hive. Educational photos and videos highlight the essential role they play in nature, all commented on by the beekeeper. It is possible to continue the adventure by going on a trip in the air among them thanks to a flight in virtual reality. Multitudes of other events celebrating cattle, pigs, sheep will allow you to discover these animals. Quizzes, films, book signings but also creation of a farmyard and discovery of goat farming by farmers will brighten up the show for a weekend.
