You may or may not have heard that we are having lots of strikes in France at the moment. France has archaic employment laws making it almost impossible to hire and fire people as and when. Its why we have 11% unemployment. The government is passing laws to change this and the unions are not happy,so lots of strikes.On of the actions they are taking are blocking the petrol refineries, thus creating fuel shortages and closed service stations.this action could last some while, fill up just before you enter the tunnel and on the way back fill up just before you enter France.
