After more than twenty-five years in the fashion industry, Christophe Dagalier trades clothes for sheep. This resident of Gif-sur-Yvette (Essonne) has been taking care of a pilot herd set up on land in the town for several weeks. Not for the sole pleasure of becoming a shepherd, but with the aim of reviving the merino wool industry in France. The 24 lambs were sheared for the first time this week.
