The agricultural show started a few days ago and the atmosphere is heavy: the exhibitors deplore the presence of many drunk people, to whom they cannot present their products.
The 2023 edition of the agricultural show began this Saturday, February 25 in Paris and will end on March 5. The opportunity for visitors to meet competition animals and get to know charcuterie and wine producers.
This event attracts many visitors each year and a large crowd was observed during the opening this weekend.
However, exhibitors are much less enthusiastic than in previous years. The reason ? They deplore the presence of “too alcoholic ” visitors, who are more and more numerous. A behavior that merchants regret because they struggle to make themselves understood and to present their products to visitors, who are too drunk.
“It’s a bit complicated, I find that it becomes a drinking binge. It bothers me because we are on very high-end wines, and we have a lot of trouble presenting them to people who come just to get drunk, ” said Bruno Merlin, from the Henri Maire house in the Swore.
