grèves

If you plan to go to France, please check on the following link and calendar (calendrier) when the national rail (SNCF) plans to go on strike (faire la grève) from April to June. The dates are highlighted in pink.
Also, other public transports might be on strike the same days too.

Click here for the link.

The right to go on strike is written in the French Constitution (la constitution), so whenever civil servants (les fonctionnaires) are unhappy with a change, they go on strike and it could block the whole country.
