French on strike?

I am planning an IFR trip to France on Friday or Saturday, probably to a major location like Bordeaux. Does anybody know whether GA flights are affected by this action which one reads about?

French strikes never happen on Fridays or Saturdays, unless it's a particularly busy holiday weekend. You will not have any problems.

I knew that anyone who's pride and joy is a gleaming DH Dragon Rapide* can't be all bad! Too right, Mr Meeson, and ignore the humorless pretendy-politicians from the rubber-stamp European parliament who have never done anything useful in their lives.

The French are famous for their strikes, I have years of experience in dealing with their antics.

Cheese eating surender monkeys !

Well acording to Bart Simpson !

Flying VFR in France during a strike is a pleasure ATC don't bother you but they do man the radio for safety reasons.

For the private VFR piot it is not a problem but at work I have to go via some point 200 miles south of Shannon to get to Malaga !
