What's Hot? Champs Elysees Turning Into "Nature Capitale"
Written by Priscilla Lalisse-Jespersen   
nature_captialI couldn’t believe it when BFM TV reported that the Champs Elysees, one of the busiest avenues in the world, was closing down in order to install a farm. And oh yeah, a farm that would only be in place for three days. But that's exactly what the city did.

Nature Capitale was high on my list of weekend activities, and with today being Pentecote, well, I had no excuse not to go. We arrived at 10:30, only an hour after the “exhibit” opened and it was already very hot, and very packed. Trees, plants, animals, people, and more trees, more plants and more people. We could hardly navigate within the space, but it was delightful in any case.

I wonder what the chances are of this happening again next year, AND how many future farmers (Nature Capitale's goal) did it inspire?

You're certainly right Prissy - it was hot... and crazy. Did you actually enjoy it in the end?! :-)
