Operation escargot, taxis slowing traffic today

French taxi drivers angry over a threat to their trade from the rise of private hire cabs and ride sharing schemes are  staging  a protest  today demanding greater support from the French government.
Taxi drivers are angry at what they see as unfair competition from private hire car company's like Uber, which they say are threatening their livelihoods. Although worse around Paris, Toulouse may be affected.
