Shepherds Simon Thomas and Etienne Jobard prepare to sleep in the house they live in with as they keep a flock of ewes in the mountains around Argentiere-la-Bessee on June 18, 2024. Etienne Jobard and Simon Thomas, aged 33, are starting their five months as herdsmen in the wild Fournel valley, in the Ecrins National Park. They will spend a month and a half, between spring and autumn, in an old-fashioned 40m2 hut with basic equipment. (Photo by JEFF PACHOUD / AFP)
