Juste like the Dieux de Stade French Rugby players, French farmers have decided to show what they are really made of. All the money will go to Telethon, a French charity against genetical disease.

par le calendrier Dieux du Stade 2008, des agriculteurs des Deux-Sévres posent nus dans un calendrier bucolique. Attention, l'argent de la vente va directement au Téléthon.

This is the second years that the French farmers from the beautiful region of La Gâtine (ou le Gâtinais ) have gone naked. In 2006, they sold more than 7,000 calendars and raised more than €49,000.

This year, they are joined by some of their wives. Selling price is €10, call +33 5.49.04.24.36 to order.

Here are some pics from last year's calendar, as well as a video of the making of this year's.
