The A13 is closed.

You should avoid taking the Paris-Normandy motorway this Tuesday evening.

The farmers' angry movement led to the blocking and then closure of six lanes of traffic, in both directions.

This Tuesday evening, they are occupied by nearly 80 tractors.

Traffic is impossible between Les Mureaux and the Mantes-la-Jolie sector, in Yvelines.

Same difficulties upstream where access to the capital is blocked from Versailles to Paris.

The demonstrators' initial objective was to spend the night at the Rocquencourt triangle, an important road junction where the A13 and A12 motorways converge.

But they encountered a veto from the police.

“Our goal is to gain a few kilometers every day towards Paris”

“As they refused, we are negotiating to spend the night in Flins-sur-Seine, just before Les Mureaux.

We'll see tomorrow about the rest.

But our goal is to gain a few kilometers every day to get closer to Paris.

The government's proposals do not satisfy us,” indicates François Lecoq, local operator and member of the FDSEA.

Yvelines farmers plan to rely on their colleagues from Eure-et-Loir, whose machines are parked on the N 12, just at the entrance to Yvelines.

“There are around a hundred friends there.

They can help us by converging on this national route,” adds the farmer.

Wednesday could mark a turning point for the future of the event locally.

On the roads, discontent is starting to rise among motorists and the police, flexible until now, have formal instructions to now contain the tractors.

At the national level, negotiations are underway between Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and representatives of the FNSEA.

For motorists, serious disruptions can be expected on Wednesday.
