FarmVille Parisian Items: Camargue Horse, Chateau, Mime Gnome and more

Tonight's FarmVille update is a small one, but it still comes with a handful of items in the Parisian item theme. There's a single new animal (attention all horse collectors!), a single building, and three new decorations available for your shopping pleasure. How chic!

The new animal is the Camargue Horse, and it costs 24 Farm Cash. For this price, you'll receive an incredibly plain horse, coming in a light gray body color with a cream colored mane. It can spawn the Camargue Foal, if you place it in a Horse Stable however, so there's at least one reason why the disappointing color palette can be looked past. As for the new building, you can now make a major splurge on a Chateau. This large building rewards you with 1500 experience points, but costs 60 Farm Cash, so the reward seems a bit small in comparison. The building, however, is huge, so keep that in mind if free space on your land is lacking.

Finally, you can pick up three new decorative items to add the finishing touches to your Parisian themed area. First is the Parisian Flowerbed, which costs 10,000 coins. Meanwhile, you can light your imaginary streets with Parisian Lamps, costing 2 Farm Cash each, or can add to your Gnome collection by picking up the adorable Mime Gnome for 15 Farm Cash.

Take a look back this selection, farmers. Notice something? There's only one item here costing coins, which, simply put, is fairly disappointing. What's more, when we see such small releases like these, it often leaves us to believe that the theme has come to an end. Is that the case here? Have we been left with just one coin item to send the theme to retirement? We truly hope not, but we'll make sure to let you know either way.

What do you think of these French-themed items? Is the large Chateau worth the very high price tag, or will you simply save your Farm Cash for something else instead?

FarmVille: Limited edition Cows come back to the barnyard (again)

No, you're not experiencing deja vu farmers, Zynga has yet again re-released a set of cows into FarmVille, giving you guys a chance to fill your collections in anticipation of what looks to be a Cow-centric breeding habitat coming to the farm. We last saw some of these Cows back in August, when Animal Mastery hit the farm, but there are some different options for your shopping pleasure this time around.

As usual, you'll only have a week to do any shopping associated with this re-release of Cows, so here's a complete look at those that have been re-released:

Autumn Cow - 22 Farm Cash
Blue Cow - 22 Farm Cash
Robot Cow - 22 Farm Cash
Western Longhorn - 20 Farm Cash
Devon Cow - 22 Farm Cash
Mohawk Cow - 22 Farm Cash
Fairy Cow - 24 Farm Cash
Hereford Cow - 22 Farm Cash
Highland Cow - 22 Farm Cash
Chrome Cow - 24 Farm Cash

Unfortunately, there aren't any coin-only Cows in this update, so you'll have to spend some of your hard-earned Farm Cash to stock up on any of these animals. Unlike previous animal habitats, the upcoming Cow building will allow you to breed Calves, rather that duplicates of these Cows, so if you don't want to waste time waiting for those Calves to grow inside your Nursery Barn, you might want to buy these Cows as is.

We'll make sure to let you know when the next animal habitat launches in the game, and hopefully we'll be able to bring you the news very, very soon.

Will you purchase any of these Cows for your farms, even if you don't place them in a storage building? Which ones are your favorites? Sound off in the comments.
