French bakers have complained of unannounced labour inspections, fines and even prosecution if they dare open on May 1 .

Five bakers from the western Vendee region were hauled before court for violating the rules.

The government is now backing legislation that would make it clear that bakeries and similar businesses, such as florists, can open on the traditional workers' day off.

The right-wing Journal du Dimanche called the current situation a "legal absurdity".
