BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR | Divers | TMC

100 tonnes of straw and 230 tonnes of hay! That’s how much gets consumed in 9 days. It’s the biggest farm in France! The Agricultural Fair brings 200,000m2 of countryside right into Paris. Far from the rural calm, 600,000 visitors are expected. They come to admire the finest beasts in France close up. The Fair is a competition machine! A medal here is the supreme recognition and breeders prepare for it all year long. Sophie breeds Salers in the Cantal and is entering her first national championship. Opposite her is a formidable opponent: Thierry, her partner! In the equine hall, Nicolas and Diabolo, a Poitou donkey, are putting on their show to win the trophy for best ass. At night, when the doors close, the logistics teams take over. From the most prestigious to the craziest of competitions, by way of the unexpected daily lives of animals… Welcome behind the scenes at the Fair of all the superlatives!
