The Pichonnière Valley is a map inspired by a real farm located in the Sarthe department, just a few kilometers from the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans racetrack. With the authorization of Julien, a dairy cattle farmer, the main farm, livestock buildings, and dealer’s shop have been faithfully recreated.
