A lot of police in Paris today.

I visited the Marmottan museum today, and just as I was coming out I got a text saying my timed visit to the Eiffel Tower was cancelled due to the national strike action. They knew this day was going to happen so not sure why I only got a text 3 hours before my entry time. I walked that way anyway, and took some photos, then decided plan B was the Rodin museum. After a nice visit there I exited to the street and there was suddenly a long line of police vans with sirens blaring heading westward. It was a lot of vehicles, and took a couple of minutes for them to clear. They didn’t go far, though, as I walked in that direction and saw them all parked on a street beside the army museum. Since I felt I didn’t have enough time to visit the army museum, I headed for the river and Pont Alexander. I wasn’t there long when another long line of police vehicles showed up. I was going to catch the metro near here, but people were sitting on the steps at the entrance, and I could see the gate was pulled down. So, I headed east along the river, and a few minutes later on another line of police vehicles. I finally found another metro station and returned to my hotel( it was now almost 6pm). I did not see any large gathering of people, and nobody I spoke to knew what was going on. So, if you are going to be in Paris while this is all going on, just know it may disrupt your plans.
