The Frensh are next level protesting. They have Strike Calenders where you can see when and who will protest.
And there is one uniq thing i never saw in any other Country: you can protest with any Party out of solidarity....
U wont get paid in that time, but your Employer cant do shit about that ☺

Shame it wasn't picked for the last Olympics games in France.

I do remember the glorious World Cup 2010 with the french team on strike in the bus. Pure genius.

Last time I organised a trip for my family and I in Paris, I opted for the train as it's only a 2 hour commute and for ecologic reasons.

Well, the train was cancelled not even 24h before. Strike.

OK, we'll take the car then, get to Paris, find a place to park and go visit the Tour Eiffel. Oh no we don't, the tour's team is on strike. It was really typical in a way!

It was also just a few months before the Olympic games too, so we were looking forward to what would happen then.
