Much media attention showered on Emmanuel Macron at the agricultural show this morning but one figure from the Yellow Vests there, too.

Eric Drouet wanted to speak to Macron and "dialogue".

Also coming to the show being held in the southern part of Paris was Yellow Vest figure Benjamin Cauchy according to a tweet late last night.

Macron saying his election as president precluded the notion of having such a referendum.

Wrapping up at this time a big procession underway in Clermont-Ferrand today.  A report of a few arrests here and there but the Yellow Vests are underway in France today and that is all for now.

President Macron worth noting putting on a show in the crowd at the agriculture show today to distract from the protests.
