French fuel strikes

[PH XKR]

Close to the EU referendum, is the almost total lack of reports on the French fuel strikes (that will impact us along with many other tourists) due to not wanting bad press about France?

We're off on Friday but with a car that manages at most 300 miles to a tank and a villa in the south east just north of Monaco, we're reconsidering our options. Better to not attend a villa we've paid for than attempt to make it and fail.

You talk about an almost total lack of reports and then link to one of the biggest news sites in the UK.

we have news 24 almost constantly on in the background and not a single mention on there. Google pulled up two links, one for the Torygraph and the other for the Daily Whail. As for searching, I found the thread thanks under the Le Mans forum, I guess everyone going to France must be checking that forum

Going down near Monaco Saturday, considering taking tge diesel but more chance that's out of stock. Petrol is the plan at the minute...

We may go via Switzerland but that adds a day to our travel.
