Tractors paraded through Paris on Friday, on the eve of the opening of the Agricultural Show.
Around thirty tractors are installed in the center of Paris, Place Vauban behind the Invalides.
The demonstrators first arrived in the capital in the morning, in a concert of horns and to the applause of passers-by, at the call of the Rural Coordination, 2nd agricultural union.

Another procession, this time called by the majority alliance FNSEA/JA, is expected in Paris in the afternoon.
Its destination is the Porte de Versailles exhibition center, where the Agricultural Show is due to open to the public on Saturday for nine days.
Once there, farmers “will stay up all night until the arrival of the President of the Republic”, according to the FNSEA.
The executive has been trying for a month to respond to farmers who are demonstrating for a better income and fewer administrative and environmental constraints, at the cost of concessions on pesticides.
Friday, the invitation of the Uprisings of the Earth to a debate with Emmanuel Macron reignited the anger of farmers and forced the Élysée to admit an error.
