Eurolines may be good, but the trafic may be very bad around Paris...

Re: Re: STRIKES in PARIS Posted: Sun May 25, 2003 06:56 AM UTC
uh oh, i'm getting a bit concerned...i'm arriving in paris cdg on the 31st of may and i just bought a train ticket from paris to geneva for the 4th of june. should i just scrap the non-refundable train ticket and hop on a plane a few days earlier? it looks like that i can get an easyjet flight from orly to geneva on saturday 31 may for something like 50euro. it's either that or bypass all of france and take a flight from amsterdam for 80euro. worth it? what do you think?

I think that it's better to try to avoid France and Air France from June 2nd to 4th.

I'll be in Paris starting June 9. Needless to say I'm very worried about the grèves. Any idea how long it would last? Isn't it true that it lasted for months last time?

Hello
I heard that Strikes will strat on June 2nd 8pm for 24 hours, but it may be light, because Unions got some options from government....more news will come on June 2nd during the day. But we could see what will happen only on June 3rd. it will not last more than 3 days (I hope)...because people need to work and students will have to pass their exams and degrees...
I will look for the news on June 2nd..

FRANCE is as the other European countries: economical issues, social issues and political issues. ALL this will affect the future : RETIREMENT PLAN and HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS. What will do the workers ?
More strikes, revolution ? When ? June is for Exams, students are not happy !
Students will act now ?
Workers will act after summer vacation ?
