Obviously, the subject has fascinated Internet users.
Jules Grandin, a cartographer who works in particular in
Daily
on TMC, published last Tuesday a series of maps showing the departments where there are more animals than humans.
The one about cows has been liked more than 47,000 times.
Cattle are thus very present in the center of France, in Nièvre, Allier, Creuse, Corrèze and Cantal, which has 480,000 cows.
These are also more numerous than the inhabitants of Orne, Mayenne and Manche, but also of Meuse and Haute-Marne.

What about pigs and sheep?
As TF1 Info explains, the subject was the subject of a 1 p.m. news report on the first channel, in Cantal.
Something to make Jules Grandin smile.
“OK so there, the 1 p.m. news from TF1 has just made a subject on Cantal, a department where there are more cows than inhabitants, using my card to launch it.
It was therefore a very important card, I had not lied, ”he tweeted.

“When I was in prep, my geography teacher said: 'In Brittany, there are more pigs than Bretons'.
I was finally able to verify if it was true, ”also explained the person concerned to
HuffPost
.
Verdict?
Pigs are indeed numerous in Brittany where they are 7.6 million, that is to say two more numerous than the number of inhabitants.
Sheep thrive in Lot, Hautes-Alpes, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Lozère and Aveyron, which has more than 990,000 heads.
