Title	Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry Folio 3, verso: March
Description	Français : Au premier plan, un paysan laboure un champ à l'aide d'une charrue tirée par deux bœufs, l'homme les dirigeant à l'aide d'une longue gaule. Des vignerons taillent la vigne dans un enclos à gauche et labourent le sol à l'aide d'une houe pour aérer le sol : ce sont les premières façons de la vigne. Sur la droite, un homme se penche sur un sac, sans doute pour y puiser des graines qu'il va ensuite semer. Enfin, dans le fond, un berger emmène le chien qui garde son troupeau. À l'arrière-plan figure le château de Lusignan (Poitou), propriété du duc de Berry qui l'a fait moderniser. On voit à droite de l'image, au-dessus de la tour poitevine, un dragon ailé représentant la fée Mélusine.
