Description:The economic picture in France has been gloomy for a while. And the latest figures are unlikely to offer any joie de vivre. Markit's latest survey showed activity in the manufacturing and services sectors in France was the worst for four years. Anything below 50 represents a contraction .... The data also puts France at a lower spot than Spain and Italy and almost down to the level of Greece. Rob Dobson is from Markit.(1:39)
