“The state had tried to expropriate land in the Larzac for a military base. One hundred thousand people showed up to prevent it. There were hunger strikes and sheep let loose in courtrooms. Peasants, Occitan nationalists, cheese farmers in debt to the Crédit Agricole, and even a Catholic bishop had joined forces... the government was forced to abandon its plan to build the military base.”
