PARIS (Reuters) - Farmers prepared to protest on Saturday against President Emmanuel Macron's visit to a major Paris farm fair, amid anger over costs, red tape and green regulations.

Dozens of tractors rolled into the French capital on Friday afternoon, loudly honking their horns. One tractor carried a sign reading: "Macron you're sowing the seeds for a storm - be careful of what you reap."
