My husband and I are planning a ten day trip to France beginning 7 June. 2 days in Paris, train to Amiens, car rental for 5 days to WWI Battle sites and the champagne region, returning to Paris. Question: How are these strike effecting city and regional train travel, and how hard is it to find gasoline for a car? Thanks!

We used DKV Maps online fuel station finder and route planner. We were able to plug it into our Garmin. These stations are everywhere. A chip card is a must, but the manned stations will take cash.
We loved Amiens. If you're looking for a nice place to eat, try Bistrot du Boucher. I hope you're able to make it to Reims (Tattinger and Mumm champagne tours) and Verdun. "Major and Mrs Holt's Concise Battlefield Guide: The Western Front North" is the history nut's (me) battlefield bible.
Have a great time!!!
