French train strike April and May

I'm not sure I'm reading definitive articles on the upcoming strikes and just when they are going to occur? Leave for Paris on Sunday.

For right now, it is simply that the third-largest union in the rail sector, Sud Rail, has filed a strike motion for weekends from April 17 through June 2.

There is still time for negotiations, and it remains to be seen how strongly followed the strike will be followed if it ends up occurring.

So - it's something to be aware of, but it's not yet certain whether it will materialize and if so, how broad its scope will be.

I'm hopeful not, but C'est la vie. I'm traveling on the Eurostar from Paris to London on April 18th to catch my flight home on the 19th. As this is Easter weekend, if I could get a flight to London that day...it's likely overpriced, last minute. Perhaps a few more days in Paris will be forced on me, I say with tongue in cheek. LOL
