There are French train strikes this Saturday 11th Feb, it seems. That's a really busy date for travel, being both French school holidays and UK half term.

One of the best articles that I've come across, in terms of advice about this, is from the France Bucket List website. Thanks to skiers Julie and David Williams for sending this in.

The article is called SNCF Strike & France Train Strike Dates February 2023: Info and Best Tips to Survive

It offers some useful advice about how to tell if your train is running or not, and what to do about getting alternative trains, refunds for cancelled trains and journey delays.

I would hope that the train company or rail-booking website or agent that you booked your travel through will also be providing information to you directly.
