France's national rail workers have begun an open-ended strike called in protest at President Nicolas Sarkozy's planned pension reforms.
Rail employees stopped work at 2000 (1900 GMT) and thousands of commuters will be affected on Wednesday morning.
Utility workers are also set to strike. They may be joined by teachers and civil servants on 20 November.

  I need to buy a few furnishings for a small studio apartment in st gervais, ie sofa bed, curtains, crokery, mattresses, fridge, tv , dvd,  and cannot find any web-sites for furniture stores in this area. Has anyone any knowledge of the shops near this town, I will be travelling from Geneva to St gervais when I visit. I understand that there are some shops on the a40 , but I do not know anymore than this. I have also been told that some specialise in furniture for small apartments which is what I will be looking for.
 Any homework I can do now will help enourmously for when I come over, more time to relax !
Do people try and bring as much over from the uk are prices higher in France ?
 any help appreciated
thanks

Would also appreciate some suggestions on hotels, camping etc, if possible a quiet place near a beach.
Thanks

I would like to know which company runs the ferries between Nice-Corsica, to be able to find out when and how often they leave for Corsica and back. Thank you

2 Read MoreHi,
My partner and I are planning to go to France from mid-Janurary 2008 for just under 2 weeks. We'd like to get some advice in planning our trip. We'll be heading to Paris for a few nights initially, and then we're thinking of staying in either Epernay or the Loire Valley for a few nights as well. Is anyone able to advise how many days is sufficient to check out the sites both around Loire Valley and Epernay? Our idea for now is head ot Epernay for a day trip or so, then stay somewhere near the Loire Valley for around 2 nights. (or are there more sites at Epernay?)
Thanks for your response.
