Mazie and I headed to Saint Rémy de Provence, Monday May 29th, to experience sheep herding through the village before they were headed to the fields for summer. This reminded us of the cow parades we experienced in Switzerland. The parade was led by a few donkeys. A wave of sheep herded close behind.
Hundreds of sheep, a few goats mixed in the herds, and a sheepdog followed around the town circular block two times. Bells were clanging from the sheeps’ neck.
We enjoyed seeing the proud shepherds and their families.
Poop happened on the streets of Saint Remy de Provence. The street cleaning machines concluded the parade. We found lunch and headed home right before the storm!
