Thanks kenren, was about to google it but will save me the trouble. Has not been effective anyway it seems, in rural areas.

All I can add is that the queues outside the petrol station at Disneyland yesterday were horrendous. As ive been in the Disney bubbke all week i havent seen anywhere else. Glad that most don't seem affected though. I refilled at Folkestone last week so have enough to get back to the tunnel on Saturday.

Just seen this on another forum.....
Ref strike affecting French fuel supply, just had email from Essence stating
Retour progressif à la normaledans les stations services après la levée du mouvement de grève.
Translated
Gradual return to normal in service stations after the lifting of the strike movement.

I got the Essence app for my phone last year when we were going over at the height of the problems then (or was it the year before?). Very useful app tbh! During the latest situation the app has supplied daily updates in addition to maps showing (supposedly!) affected fuel retailers.

Just got 20€ worth of diesel at Auchan at Nogent sir Oise. Took 10 mins at the pump to get that much and while we were there they ran out of petrol98 whatever that is. Backlash not over yet I think

No issue around La Rochelle and plenty of fuel available with no queues anywhere. Only hassle is farmers go slow strike on motorway blocking the motorway with the queue behind stretching for miles. Maybe time to make Spain the option to visit?
