It's all in the name of art. Cows in all manner of poses and colours are bringing a Pop Art stampede to the City of Light.
But why cows! The cows could never tell:)
The herd of fibreglass bovines will be spread through the centre of the capital from Thursday, including along some famous landmarks, such as the Champs-Elysees, the Garnier Opera and in the chic Saint-Germain district.
The unusual display, which runs to June 16, is part of an itinerant exhibition begun in Switzerland 1998 which has already done the rounds in Chicago, New York, Brussels, London, Barcelona and Tokyo.
Different artists have been charged with dressing each cow-sculpture in the name of charity: funds raised from a June 30 auction of the hollow animals will go to the UN's World Food Programme and the Africa Alive organisation.
