		</div><p>French farmers have blocked the famed Mont Saint-Michel causeway and roads leading to the Alps to denounce low milk and meat prices.</p>
<p>The farmers used tyres, tractors and tree trunks to block roads. Mont Saint-Michel, in the Normandy region, is a Unesco World Heritage Site.</p>
<p>The protests were prompted by alleged deception over the government offer to back loans to the farmers and delay tax payments as part of a €600m plan.</p>
<p>Farmers say their margins are being chipped away by cheap imports and pressure from retail chains.</p>

<p>The main farmers&#8217; union, the FNSEA, warned that other protests &#8220;will probably happen in the next two to three days&#8221;.</p>
<p>Low prices have left about 10% of livestock farms on the verge of bankruptcy, the government said.</p>
