Artificial Grass In The Vendée
Grass is nothing new in the Vendée but artificial grass? Don't worry it's not taking over from the fields of sunflowers but it's clear that the French recognise its value as a practical form of carpet in outdoor, public areas.

Vendée countryside .... a typical scene in the bas bocage. Cattle feeding lazily in the sunshine, blue skies above.
As this photograph shows, the inland Vendée is a tranquil place and quite different to the coastal Vendée frequented by so many people from all over France and indeed Europe.
