ISLANDERS travelling to France are being urged to check their transport arrangements after the country’s networks were crippled by a sixth day of strikes.
The widespread industrial action is continuing after French President Nicolas Sarkozy insisted that proposals to raise the state retirement age from 60 to 62 would go ahead.

Association of Guernsey Travel Agents chairman Jamie Blondel advised islanders to check with their operator or travel agent to see if they would be affected. So far most islanders seem to have escaped the effects.
