What to expect from May's week-long French rail strikes

French media are warning of a 'dark week' of disruptions as multiple rail unions file strike plans ahead of the May 5th to May 11th period. Services like TGV Inoui and Ouigo, local TER routes, and Eurostar could be affected, with conductors’ strikes particularly impacting high-speed trains. Tr travelers are advised to check for cancellations in advance if they’ve booked tickets and to avoid driving due to potential congestion warnings from Bison Futé.
