More than ten days after the start of the movement, disappointed with Gabriel Attal's first announcements, the unions called on angry farmers to lay

siege to Paris

this Monday, January 29.

In the rest of France, many blockades were lifted at the end of last week.

But some actions are however planned, in Lyon for example, where the FRSEA (Regional Federation of Farmers' Unions) Auvergne Rhône-Alpes has called for a blockade from 2 p.m.

In the map below,
