FCO issues Easter holiday warning over new France strikes
The Foreign Office issued a fresh travel warning due to another day of planned France strikes.
Unions called for another strike for 6 April, which could impact the busy Easter weekend holiday.
“Coordinated strike action is next planned for 6 April. It may start the evening before the strike day and run for several days,” FCO said.
“You should monitor the media and check the latest advice with operators before travelling.”
“Avoid demonstrations and follow the advice of local authorities.”
“Spontaneous protests in central Paris and elsewhere have been staged since the middle of March.”
Earlier this week the Louvre was forced to close after staff members joined France strikes and blocked the entrance.
Widespread demonstrations over pensions have resulted in days of intermittent travel disruptions.
