Le vendredi 13 octobre sera indiscutablement un vendredi noir en France.

Une grève est annoncée.

France’s Intersyndicale – the group representing the country’s eight main unions  has announced a day of strikes this Friday, October 13th, to protest austerity and the rising cost of living in France. The mass day of strikes and demonstrations is likely to affect transport across the country, so if you are planning to travel this weekend, make sure to double-check whether your train, flight, or metro services are running.
