Nice timing (gah!)

The only thing i would say its better its happened this week rather than next week.

Not much comfort though.

Guess we'll have to wait to see what the French government does over the weekend.

Fair play to them for kicking off about changes to working regulations. We tend to tut and accept it.

Power stations starting to go on strike today too

The petrol stations that are still open are either mega busy and/or rationing.

The last time the frenchies did this was 5 years ago - we were travelling across then and i got to 0 and about 20 miles before finding a station with any - not stress i want to repeat and that was in the cage.

As has been said, will have to see how it goes in the next few days.

If it isn't, you won't get through France sadly. Not with the range of a motorbike especially.

Hope it gets sorted for you guys.

Watching the news there is fuel available and being rationed to 20 euro per transaction so enough for a tank fill up on the bike.

I believe you can get an app telling you were fuel is. Might be worth a Google search. Sorry no more info.

My partners parents had to cancel their trip to France and are now holidaying in Cornwall, bloody Frenchies getting their nickers in a twist!!

No problems so far. One place didn't have RON95 but it was in the middle of no where

Glad to hear it Kwacky, hope you miss all the problems on your holiday

Only a couple of issues while we were away.

I suspect that the Frenchies will kick off again during the football.
