Since mid-April, the coul\u00e9e verte has been home to a new breed of sheep. Until next October<\/strong>, The three ewes live in a special enclosure where they naturally tend the lawn. Residents are free to come and visit them, but don't be surprised by their small size - they are adults and belong to the smallest species of sheep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
