There will be a day of industrial action on THURSDAY 29 JANUARY by many of the public sector companies, who are (as usual) in conflict with the government.

This will affect the transport system - rail, Paris RER, bus services and EUROSTAR, and AIR FRANCE. There may also be some disruption at the ports (including those serving England).

IF YOU INTEND TO TRAVEL TO FRANCE, or within France ON THAT DAY, please make suitable contingency plans for delays, disruptions and cancellations. In other words, there'll be a lot of hassle which you might be able to avoid if you change your plans in advance.

Good luck to all who have to do important business in France this Thursday ............ including us who live here!!
