To a backdrop of high social tensions over government pension reform plans, French President Emmanuel Macron had to be evacuated from a Parisian theatre after a group of protestors arrived during a performance, while hours later a fire was started at a Montparnasse restaurant well known as the place where he celebrated his first-round victory in the 2017 presidential elections.
Jérôme Brochot, who runs a restaurant in the fading former mining Burgundy town of Montceau-les-Mines, has renounced his coveted Michelin star because what he calls the economic 'disaster' of the local region means he no longer has the turnover to pay for the personnel, produce and precision demanded of the award.
The Michelin restaurant guide mixed up two restaurants of the same name on its website, mistakenly granting one of its esteemed star awards to a modest bar-restaurant in central France instead of another close to Paris, leading to a rush of custmers to the little-known establishment where a homemade beef bourguignon dish can be enjoyed for just 12.50 euros.
A restaurant in the southern French city Nîmes is relinquishing its coveted Michelin one star-ranking and becomes a cheap-and cheerful brasserie in an attempt to lure back customers amid the economic gloom.
