Authorities in France's Champagne region are investigating conditions on its famed vineyards after seasonal workers were found to be lodged in squalid accommodation. Now preparing to testify against their former employer, labourers told RFI about their gruelling experiences picking some of the world's most expensive grapes.
Last month authorities in the north-eastern department of Marne, where much of the wine region is located, shut down accommodation housing some 50 workers hired to pick the 2023 harvest.
