Angry French farmers drive their tractors into Paris in fresh protests

Dozens of tractors drove peacefully into a neighbourhood in western Paris carrying flags from Rural Coordination, the farmers' union that staged the protest. 

The protesters then posed with their tractors on a bridge over the Seine River with the Eiffel Tower in the background, before heading towards the Vauban plaza in central Paris.

The latest protest comes three weeks after farmers lifted roadblocks around Paris and elsewhere in the country after the government offered over €400 million ($433 million) to address their grievances over low earnings, heavy regulation and what they describe as unfair competition from abroad.
