It's too late to watch the TV news.  Does anyone know the answer?     Cathy ----- Your children won't remember you ironing their pyjamas but they will remember you reading them a bedside story.    Report

I've received a text to say that Bordeaux tramways are on strike tomorrow so maybe that is what it is.   Cathy ----- Your children won't remember you ironing their pyjamas but they will remember you reading them a bedside story.    Report

Cendrillon - I was looking at trains on Saturday and was diverted from Bordeaux to Libourne.  I didn't twig why until I read your post, even though I was the original poster. Clair's website says (I think) that all will be back to normal today (11th).  But the lunchtime radio news was suggesting otherwise.

I have the impression that all will be back to normal on Tuesday and that they are still working on Monday which of course is a bank holiday in France.   Brilliant website Clair, I have bookmarked it.
