Karine Le Marchand, 55, is a glamorous presenter of a television show that assists lonely farmers in locating a life partner and has risen to the forefront of the resistance movement after telling the protesters, 'The French are with you.' Le Marchand, who had been dubbed "the Michelle Obama of French agriculture," has been host of L'amour est dans le pré (Love is in the Pasture), a French television series for 13 years. But her fame among France's agricultural workers has only increased after she made an appearance at a tractor camp in Jossigny, east of Paris, on Monday. She took the microphone when the farmers blocked the A4 highway into France's capital, expressing her sympathy for the country's major cities.
