Property in France is due to be surrounded this summer as the Cow Parade comes to Bordeaux.

Tourisme Aquitaine explains that no property in France‘s famous wine-making city is safe, as the cows could appear in its picturesque squares or on street corners.

Cows are already in place and are due to remain in their current positions until September, when they are to be sold for charity.

Previous cities to host the Cow Parade include Chicago, Manchester, Paris and Rome, each of which also sold its uniquely created line-up of bovine artworks to raise money for charitable causes.

A special cow safari is planned for the Bordeaux event, which allows visitors to take in the full Cow Parade and also the 18th-century architecture of the French city.

More than 200 different design proposals were received by the organisers this time around, with a total of 60 selected to be applied to three-dimensional life-size cows to take part in the parade.
