Everywhere there are strikes. Taxi drivers are blocking the airport roads to complain about Uber, the computer site that connects you to cheap taxis; in the Loire, agricultural workers are striking because at this time of year theres not much to do and they feel undervalued; the tax office in Couiza is on strike because today was the day I was trying to meet with them.
Alas, the taxi strikes are causing a lot of violence on the motorways they are blocking - the news shows burning tyres, fisticuffs and riot police.
Here all is quiet. Sunny day. Trees having haircuts.
Met Robin from St Gobain - he and Jennifer have been on holiday and re-open on Sunday.
