Thanks for the feedback, sounds like a bit of a nightmare. I would imagine the gates fill up with aeroplanes delayed on the ground meaning the inbounds have to be parked wherever is vacant. Something of a disaster for all concerned with plenty more to follow.

I really have no idea what the objective of all this is. Perhaps one of our French ATC colleagues could explain. Last I heard was that this is a protest about retirement age being increased to 62! There will not be too much sympathy anywhere in Europe for that cause but I stand to be corrected, I've been Ppruning too long to think I know anything about popular opinion!
