Geneva, 01.08.2012 The Star Queens of Plainpalais Twelve Hérens cows fought on the Plainpalais plain under a blazing sun. A large crowd came to admire the impressive spectacle. A specialist gave explanations between two fights to allow the public to grasp the subtleties of this ancestral tradition. This visit of the cows was made possible thanks to the mayor of Geneva, Rémy Pagani, who was captivated by these fights when he visited Aproz.
