Farmers take around 1,000 tractors to Paris in protest, clog roads

French farmers angered by government policies that they say threaten their livelihoods drove almost 1,000 tractors into Paris on Wednesday, obstructing commuter traffic. In the city centre, farmers threw hay across the Champs-Elysees Avenue and occupied the lanes headed towards the Place de la Concorde square. "Macron, answer us! Save farmers," read one banner carried by a tractor.
