FIRES IN FRENCH VINEYARDS As a cold wave hits Western Europe, French vineyards are under threat.
Indeed, French vines, a 3000 year old heritage, are very sensitive to sudden temperature variations and early spring frosts.
To avoid the destruction of the crops, French farmers have lit hundreds of thousands of small fires all over the French vineyards. In order to warm up the young vines.
This gives these rare, surreal and Promethean images, of men defying nature and the cold, to allow their crops to survive.
