In some areas I could almost think we were back in Montana or Alberta. This is not at all an unusual sight, as there is a lot of hay grown here as well as wheat, barley, corn (for cattle feed) and canola (they call it colza here). It is a rich agricultural area, but unfortunately for us they have very few orchards or vegetable farms. Fruits and veggies are all brought in from other areas of France or from Spain.
