Information not to be missed
The strike by SNCF controllers - three quarters of whom are following the movement - really starts this Friday and will last until Monday morning.
They are demanding in particular better pay and the recruitment of more staff.
As a result, only one train in two will run over the entire school holiday weekend.
Priority is given to trains to and from the Alps where there are ski resorts and whose wagons were full.
“What we owe our customers first and foremost is an apology,” Alain Krakovitch, director of TGV-Intercités, insisted this Friday on TF1.
Users are therefore forced to review their plans, with some being forced to turn to more polluting modes of transport such as planes or cars.
“My carbon footprint is execrable,” one of them laments to Le Parisien.
However, good news for travelers, the SNCF says it has not yet received “any information which would allow us to say that traffic will be degraded” over the weekend of February 24 to 25.

This makes it possible, for example, to afford a 9 m2 in Paris, an 18 m2 in Nice or a 19 m2 in Lyon.
For a couple of two people on the minimum wage, the possible loan rises to 181,275 euros.
In these two cases, you will need to raise a 10% contribution before borrowing.
