Another strike on Thursday, October 2nd?

Posted by on

I subscribe to Les Frenchies and their email this morning mentioned another planned strike on Thursday, October 2nd. Apparently four representative SNCF unions have "joined forces" and it is advised to avoid all public transportation. My question is; we are arriving at CDG for a connecting flight to Marsailles that morning and I assume we won't be impacted....? Also, would this be a nationwide strike, or "just" the greater Paris area?

We're having a private driver pick us up that day (assuming we get there) from Marseilles airport to take us to Aux-en-Provence. I assume this strike won't impact us there?

October 2nd will be a nationwide strike.

To date, and according to the latest information,

Train traffic could be significantly impacted. Train cancellations will be announced on Tuesday, September 30th.

In Paris, public transport is expected to be severely disrupted, with the main unions also calling for a strike.

Air traffic is expected to be little or no impacted. No major notice has been given by the representative unions as of this date.
An air traffic controllers' strike is planned for October 7th, 8th, and 9th.

This strike will have no impact on private transportation except for occasional traffic disruptions during street demonstrations in major cities.
