The Foreign Office has changed its guidance for people travelling to France from the UK.
It comes after passengers were last week warned of mass strike action across the European nation. Last Thursday, January 19, was dubbed "Black Thursday", with flights, trains, schools and more grinding to a halt.
A number of demonstrations also took place. The Local reports unions said it was to be the "first day of mobilisation" in their battle against Emmanuel Macon's plans to reform the French pension system.
