Around fifty tractors from the Lot-et-Garonne Rural Coordination were welcomed by a concert of horns and applause at a roundabout in Bergerac. “They are heroes,” said several times the participants, who numbered around 400 according to the organizers.

The majority of tractors, however, were unable to cross the Loire, whose bridges were blocked by the police. Only around thirty tractors managed to go back up towards Essonne on Wednesday after forcing passage through Gien (Loiret)
