Strike Watch

Boulogne-sur-mer - fishermen striking to protest the hiking of the price of cabillaud or as we call it - codfish.

In Bordeaux, public transport on strike, hoping for better pension or work conditions.

In addition, there is some renovation on railtracks reducing available tracks, making this long week-end - which includes war celebration of May 8 with religious celebration of Pentecote on Monday, May 12th, and to include next year, May 9-another holiday to be declared by the European Union. But I forget why.
