Tower of Rosé from Taval
In 1925, it moved to the Porte de Versailles Exhibition Centre and has evolved continuously ever since. Initially reserved for animals only, it now includes competitions for regional and dairy products and wines and has a magnificent showcase: the Paris International Agricultural Show.
We arrived at the show at about 1030, purchased our ticket for 13€, found the coat check in building 7 on the ground floor and started our tour of the exhibits.  First stop was Bella the cow,
Belle the Cow
she seems to be a well known figure here in France, perhaps she knows Elsie the Cow, the US celebrity. Her face is all over bags for the exposition; available for 3€ – we decided to pass. Pat snapped some photos and then we were on our way through the huge selection of Bovins (cattle).  We toured the Sheep (Ovins) and we walked around through various exhibits always heading in the direction of the regional cuisine, can you see a pattern here?  We tasted cheeses, nougat, pralines etc. along the way, we also came across a booth serving Aubrac Beef and making and
Aubrac beef and aligot
serving Aligot, the potato and cheese concoction, both were excellent the beef very flavorful and the Aligot like pureed potatoes with mozzarella cheese in it but with a better flavor. Â We wandered the regional restaurants (Brittany, Normandy, Provence, Â Loire, etc until we found what looked interesting and with a line, always a good sign. Â The restaurant Le Geyracois, from the Limousin Region (Limoges), check out this video, sorry it in french but you will get the idea.
We chose the Menu for 33€ because are plan was to have leftover potato leek soup and
Pate of Beef and foie gras
bread for dinner, which we will execute later this evening. Pat
Potato tarte
had the potato tart, steak and dessert, she passed on the cheese plate. Â I had the beef/foie gras pate, the lamb, the cheese plate and dessert. Â we also order a small bottle of wine and a bottle of water. Â A very nice lunch.
Pat’s Steak
Following lunch we wandered around more food stalls, mostly to-go type foods that all looked excellent and if we were not full could have eaten more.
We stopped at one booth were the proprietor was grilling Andouillette, a tripe based sausage that is definitely an acquired
Mike’ grilled Lamb
taste, its very old world French.
We continued on to the rabbits, fowl and more cows, cow are really the dominant animal at the show. Â There were also vendors from French possessions or previous French colonies. There was jewelry, foods, and other interesting exhibits.
Grilling Andouillette (Tripe sausage)
In the afternoon is was already very crowded and when the number of strollers started to out number people we decided it was about time to head out. Â Also we were getting tired of being abused by people with back-packs, who for some unknown reason have no clue that this huge appendage is on their back (See Travel Tips).
We departed at about 3:15 and took the #80 bus the Alma Marceau and transferred to the #63 arriving at our final stop at about 4:05. Â We stopped at Nicolas for more wine, and the bakery for a lemon tart and bread to go with dinner.
