French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal sought to assuage the anger of French farmers on a visit to the Haute-Garonne region on Friday, vowing his government would prioritise the sector and dropping plans to reduce a key agricultural tax break.Â
French farmers in tractors on Friday moved to blockade major roads into Paris as they continued to vent their anger over low food prices and excessive red tape. They also shut down long stretches of some of France's major highways.Â
you should be fine taking the train from Paris-Nord to Bruxelles-Midi. Disruption on the hispeed network is unlikely, and access to the tracks between LGV Nord and Gare du Nord is complex and heavily guarded.
