A French company has been found liable for the death of an employee while he was having sex with a stranger in a hotel room while on company business.

A Paris court ruled that his death was an industrial accident and that the family was entitled to compensation.
The firm had argued the man was not carrying out professional duties when he joined a guest in her hotel room.
But under French law an employer is responsible for any accident occurring during a business trip, judges said.

He died at a hotel during a trip to central France in 2013, as a result of what the employer called "an extramarital relationship with a perfect stranger.”

That story couldn't be more French. 

I've had several members of my French family get made redundant, and their payoffs are ridiculously generous.  They take a year or so of work, then gradually start looking again.....

Here we are lucky to afford a sausage roll while scrabbling for work the next day.
