Yeah, based on what I have been reading in the French press, I really don't think strikes are in the works for Saturday the 11th. You're of course welcome to believe what you want to from the English-language press !
The one on the 11th is so that people who work during the week can march, too. It’s scheduled for their day off. They voted not to disrupt transportation on Saturday because it’s the beginning of winter school vacations for some regions and parents are taking the children to stay with grandparents or skiing. Your train to Chartres could be pretty full.
Thank you for the information. It is important to stay informed about potential disruptions or changes to travel plans, especially during times of protests or strikes.
