Strikes are on again in France, with unions calling work stoppages now in their second week resulting in the temporary closing of several tourist sites in Paris, including Musee d’Orsay, the Guimet Museum and the Arc de Triomphe. The strikes are in opposition to the way the government is implementing a shorter work week, which has worker support. In a separate action, train workers were planning to walk off the job this week, affecting a third of international train services and half of the TGV trains. Bus transport was expected to be affected in some 30 towns, and commuter trains into Paris would be hard hit. Follow local reports for current updates.
