Activists dubbed ‘gilets jaunes’ will be turning out to block roads and autoroutes across France on 17th November to protest about rising fuel prices.
This website has a map of the places which will be affected – there are also links for relevant Facebook groups. https://www.blocage17novembre.com/
On the list locally:
Marseille airport
Gare St Charles
Gare d’Aix-en-Provence
Vieux Port
Peages la Barque and Salon
Viaduct at Martigues …………….and so on.
‘La Provence’ writes that this is not a normal union-backed strike, so much as people taking action themselves, so details may change. Best to keep a close eye on the website if you are travelling.
oh help! I was due to fly out of Marignane on Saturday 17!!
Oh dear. It’s not an organised union strike….more a popular protest which could be significant or not. I don’t think anyone really knows. Maybe keep an eye on the website I included and La Provence and/or The Connexion website. …..all the best and hope to see you soon!
