High-speed TGV services, notably those heading to Spain and Italy, have been reduced to one in three trains at the start of France's main tourist season. Visitors arriving at Paris's international
airports also faced disruption getting into the city.
To make matters worse for travellers in France, between 400 and 550 members of Air France ground crew at Roissy airport are set to strike on Sunday, in protest at the “degradation of working conditions”
Thierry Lepaon, the head of the CGT trade union -- the largest representing rail workers -- urged President Francois Hollande to resolve the crisis by the weekend as Valls appealed to the strikers' "sense of responsibility".
