Savigny and the Farm


Walking down the main street in Savigny, the small town where Elodie and many of her relatives live and farm.

A couple of newborn lambs on Elodie's grandparents' farm.  In the background you can see the church of Savigny, which has a very typical Norman steeple.


A view of the family farm.


There are about 80 cows on the farm.


Bruno, Elodie's dad, let us hold some newborn piglets, who weren't too happy to meet us.


Elodie's uncle's stables, where we saw saddles that German soldiers, occupying Savigny during the Second World War, left behind as they fled advancing Allied troops.


A couple of Percheron horses, a breed typical of Normandy, on Elodie's uncle's farm.
