Frequent in the United Kingdom, crop circles, geometric figures drawn in cereal fields, are appearing in France. A farmer of Condé-sur-Vire discovered in one of his parcels on June 12 or 13, 2019, in Torigni-sur-Vire (new town of Torigny-les-Villes). 

According to a Facebook page "Crop Circles-UFO's Ancient Mysteries-Scientific Speculations" which lists these phenomena, a series has been running in France for a few weeks in June 2019. 

Land art 

Some see the arrival of extraterrestrials, others divine forces. We will be satisfied with the hypothesis of artists who intervene at night to indulge in land art. The cereals are not cut but just lying down. It is enough "to use a pole and ropes (sort of giant compass) to form the circles. The crescents of the moon are certainly more difficult to draw but it is still technically possible. 

This hypothesis of land art is that largely favoured by Thomas Frémond, farmer in Condé-sur-Vire, who made the discovery on Wednesday 12 or Thursday 13 June: 

Initially, I thought it was the wind or the rain that had laid the grain. It is by going to see more closely that I saw the geometric forms. I asked a little around. Nobody saw or heard anything.

No complaint 

There are also no traces of inputs or outputs in the field. But the person or persons who introduced themselves were able to borrow the tractor passages already existing. The only drawback is that the coated grains are no longer harvestable. But the Manchurian farmer does not make it a cheese: 

    The drawing is at least fifty meters but the loss is not huge. I am not insured but I did not go to see the gendarmes to file a complaint. They have something else to do. " 

On the contrary, the farmer takes rather the thing to the fun: 

    In the region, we never saw that. I think it's a good joke. The shapes are pretty to see. It amuses me rather.

UNUSUAL. Near Saint-Lô, a mysterious "crop circle" drawn in a wheat field

A farmer from Torigny-les-Villes, near Saint-Lô (Manche), made a curious discovery: imposing geometric shapes drawn in his wheat field. Plaisanterie very human or supernatural intervention, the mystery remains whole.

The grower just wanted to check the condition of his wheat after the storms that crossed the Channel last week . No hail on the horizon, but curious cut-outs in its well-planted field, along the N174, between Guilberville and Saint-Lô, near Torigny-les-Villes. It takes a little height to realize the magnitude of the reason.

Over a good forty meters, the wheat has been lying, revealing geometric shapes very clear. A drawing that can be described as a crop circle . These curious creations are rarely claimed by their authors.

"I do not know who did this," the farmer wonders, preferring to remain anonymous. There are some who talk  about extraterrestrials or a source of energy. Me, I think it's a bunch of fun. What is certain is that it took them a long time. In the meantime, it's a real loss of wheat. "
