No more honey-roasted ham crisps, fruit crumpets and scones… Marks and Spencer announced Thursday the closure of 11 stores in France "in the coming months".

That's more than half of its 20 locations in the country.

The 100% British clothing and food chain is suffering from supply issues linked to Brexit.
