When the French say that they like to strike, they mean it. Take notice, they may actually unionize and strike at any moment. I have attached photos of the fire department on strike a few days ago in the center of town. The firemen want an increase in pay? Great! Just make sure your house does not catch fire in the time until their demands are met. Maybe also refrain from using the stove, oven, candles, and fireplace- I know, it’s January, shut up. You probably shouldn’t rub wood together either, just to err on the side of caution. This is *drum roll please*… One of the stupidest things that I have ever seen in my nearly 20 years on this Earth.

Brianna- I have found that almost nothing that I expect to happen actually occurs here in France. So I stay open-minded, but do not hesitate to offer commentary 😉 . & Thank you!
This is so interesting. I wouldn’t expect a fire company to go on strike and start painting on trucks and whatnot. Hopefully it doesn’t last long. Have a great time in France!
