An array of politicians reacted with anger and French sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera fired back in a tweet: "Mr. Galtier, we're used to more relevant and responsible answers from you -- shall we talk about this?"
With the government urging consumers to reduce fossil fuel use, both to fight climate change and to ward off feared shortages amid tensions with supplier Russia over the war in Ukraine, Galtier's and Mbappe's apparent lack of concern drew accusations that they were out of touch.
"No, is that how you respond ???? Guys, will you wake up ???" tweeted Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.
Ecologist lawmaker Francesca Pasquini invited Mbappe to the National Assembly to "teach you about climate issues, accompanied by your team."
"Your coach's `joke' isn't raising many laughs!" she tweeted.
Even France's prime minister weighed in. "It's important that they realize what world we live in, realize that there's a climate crisis," Elisabeth Borne said.
The high priestesses in the Church of Woke sure are shrill.
In response to questions from The Associated Press, PSG said there weren't any late-night TGV trains it could have taken back to Paris after the match, which would have forced the team to spend the night in Nantes.
The club said the team was making increasing use of buses for short trips.
Just like high school teams.
