The French at their favourite sport. Will the EU take any action against France?.....of course not. The UK is the only country affected.

Remember the British lorries bringing in lamb which were seized and burned while the French authorities looked the other way.
It is hard to be seen as good Europeans while this sort of nonsense seems to be condoned by the French authorities.
