French Farmers fight for Survival in Convoy surrounding Paris blocking motorways

Farmers have encircled Paris, using their vehicles to block highways leading to France's capital.

As hundreds of tractors chug towards Paris in protest, the city is on the verge of being 'choked'.

Paris, like London or New York, is beset with boundless urban problems. It takes a lot for Parisians to start worrying about French farmers. But that is changing as tractors and other agricultural vehicles ease their way noisily towards the capital, leaving its residents fretting.

At Jossigny near the Disneyland theme park east of Paris, protesters blocked all six lanes of the A4 highway.
