Strike in France threatens - probably with consequences for Germany
In domestic transport in France, half of the TGV and Intercités trains should run during the three-day strike during the winter holidays, said SNCF long-distance transport boss Alain Krakovitch on Wednesday (February 14).
In France there are also generous rebooking options for affected travelers.
Between Thursday and Monday, all travelers who have booked a ticket for the weekend should reach their destination.
Anyone who has booked a ticket with SNCF will be informed in advance by email whether their train is running or not.

The strike is initiated by the conductors, who are demanding a wage increase of 150 to 200 euros per month.
