Mimi...we just returned from France and did get to see two of the cows in one location in a park off Rue du Roi d'Sicile. Will send photos when I get my disc back from Costco today. We first came across these cows in, of all places, Beaufort, South Carolina in 2001..quite a kick.

Great stu. Something to look forward to..your photos. That should cheer me. These days of heavy rains, flooding are depressing.

Holy cow! In 1999 I just happened to be spending a long weekend in Chicago when they were having their Cows on Parade exhibition. After a 6 year absence I will make it back to Paris for about a day and a half (nowhere near long enough but it's better than nothing) in early June so maybe I'll see a cow or two while I'm there. What fun!

we just got back and saw the cows. we had seen them stateside before. i had a favorite-she was a girl cow w/ hot pink lipstick w/ pouty lips and wearing a black lace thong!the rear view was the most popular for photos!

There are several cows in the St. Germain area that I looked at two weeks ago. Some of them are quite clever and I think they are more "artistic" than the cows we saw on display in Brussels a few years ago.
I really liked the one decorated entirely with spoons.
Will the Paris cows be auctioned off for charity

I saw those cows in Switzerland near lake Geneva, quite a sight!

I show pictures to my friends with a comment "this is where the mad cow disease is coming from".

Yes, they will be auctioned off for charity.

mim...please e-mail me and I will send the cow pix..

Forgot to add, the snooty 15th century manor near us has two of those designer cows parked next to their practice polo field. Don't know which auction they came from.

I'm loving this. I have the vache map, but haven't had the time to go looking for them. However, in my travels, I've stumbled across 7 of them - one on the Place de la Croix Rouge in the 6ème and the other 6 on avenue Matignon. I'm trying to get photos of all of them, but forgot to take my camera when I had to go to av. Matignon.

Last year, when I lived in Washington, we had Panda-monium, and the year before that, Party Animals (donkeys and elephants). Same principal - they were auctioned off at the end. One of my neighbors had an elephant with spikes. Never figured out what that meant.

Stu, your email was returned?

When Cows on Parade was in Chicago a few years ago my favorite was "Moonet". She had Monet's water lilies painted on her side.

As you can guess from my screen name, I'm a cowlector. Cows follow me home from my travels. I have a china version of Moonet with water lillies plus one of Van Cow with Starry Night. They're the stars of my cowlection.

There are bears on parade in Berlin, lions in Munich right now. (One of those lions was quite the little cross-dresser! :-O

I think my new travel goal should be to follow the cows. I've seen them in NYC, Prague and Switzerland and this summer they are going to be in Boston and Lisbon. I was so excited when I found out about Lisbon as that's where I'm going this summer anyway. I'm disappointed to have missed them in Paris. I hope all of you going to Paris soon will post photos of the cows.

We are just home and saw several of the cows. I live in Louisville, and we had horses all around town a couple of years ago. Also saw alligators in Naples, FL, a few years ago.

Last year in Jacksonville Fl , it was Manatees :)

Yes, we did the manatees...
I, too, saw the cows in Switzerland and just now in Paris..took about 6 photos of various ones, which I am in the process of organizing. (I mean, all my photos, not just the 6 cow pix!)
