4 Read MorePARIS (Reuters) – French In a televised statement, Villepin said he regretted that weeks of strikes and protests showed the CPE could not be applied but gave no details about his own political future, on the line over his handling of the dispute.
President Jacques Chirac on Monday scrapped a planned youth job law that provoked weeks of protests, in a climbdown opponents celebrated as an unqualified victory.
The move was a personal blow to Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, who had championed the First Job Contract (CPE) and seen his popularity slump with the mass opposition and unrest.

Is that true?
I know decapitation isn’t all it’s made out to be, because you are still alive for at least a few minutes afterward (as made evident during the Reign of Terror), but WOW!

He pledged to shorten from two years to one the period in which youths could be fired – and said employers would have to give a reason for the dismissal.
The law, known as the CPE, makes it easier for employers to hire and fire people under the age of 26.
It is not clear if Mr Chirac’s decision will stop the protests, says the BBC’s Caroline Wyatt in Paris.
Hi all!
We need to book tickets for Paris-Amsterdam Thalys train. The problem is that we are not in Europe and have no idea how it works in practice (I mean, how to get the booked tickets at the railway station)
If someone has relevant experience, pls tell us a few words about it (print&go option is not available for this direction and we deffinitely cannot receive the tickets by post)
Thanks a lot!

1 Read MoreStudents and trade unions have called for another one-day strike next Tuesday in a drive to get the law scrapped.
If the Constitutional Council rules the law valid, it could be put into effect at once by President Jacques Chirac.
The president is expected to address the nation soon – possibly as early as Thursday evening, correspondents say.

waiting for your quick response.
Scattered violence erupted in Paris, and riot police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse several thousand youths who pelted them with stones and bottles after an otherwise peaceful march. More than 240 people were arrested.
Unions and the leftist opposition joined in solidarity with the angry students for the one-day strike, increasing the pressure on Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin to withdraw the measure that makes it easier to fire young workers.
Although Villepin held firm, cracks opened in his conservative government. Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, in a clear break with Villepin, suggested suspending the law to allow for negotiations.
