Paris: The City of Love, Lights, and… Tractors
French Farmers Turn Paris into a Green Overalls Runway in Protest Against the EU-Mercosur Deal
Paris, the city that gave us romance, baguettes, and berets, has found itself the stage for another uniquely French cultural phenomenon—protests. But this time, it’s not students or unions shutting things down; it’s tractors, cows, and very frustrated farmers.
