French Prime Minister Francois Fillon and Agriculture Minister Bruno Le Maire visit a showcase of farming technology, livestock, and crop diversity of France. In early January, Fillon confessed that he favored the drinking establishments of the U.K. over the cafes of France. “If there was one thing I really would like to import from Britain to France, it is the pubs,” he said. “The social mix that you find in pubs is something that really doesn’t exist here.”
