Default Latest on French strike action?

Meant to be in Northern France at the end of the week for a couple of days Calais / Le Touquet, any ideas if it's calmed down, or are they still setting fire to everything?

(General news seems to have gone quiet, which is positive)

I'm over here near Limoges until next staurday.

On the way down, I filled up in the UK, then put €40 worth in at Voves near Chartres, which effectively filled it again. I shall do the same again localy today, toping it off every time I can, as a full tank will see me back to Zeebrugge.

About one in three garages had no fuel at all, on the way down, most had either no diesel or no petrol. You were limited to €40 worth whatever. Worse on motorways than in the sticks.

I also travelled free on two motorways as stikers opened up the barriers.

SUPPOSED to be getting better..........

Have a look on Bison Fute for the latest road info.
