Delays on journeys to and from France due to strikes

People travelling to France have been warned to expect disruption on Tuesday due to strikes over pension reforms.

Flights, ferry crossings and rail services are set to be affected, with companies such as Eurostar and P&O Ferries warning of delays.

Unions are staging a general strike in France over proposed pension changes, which include raising the retirement age from 62 to 64.

It's the sixth big strike since January and protests are planned in Paris.

With the French government showing no sign of backing down on its pension plan, one union leader has warned of escalation and "bringing the country to its knees", with calls to extend the strikes to key sectors like power generation and gas terminals.

Most industries including travel will be hit by the walkouts. A majority of train and metro services have been cancelled, and schools will be closed.
