France is famous. For many things, the food, the wine, the art.
I've run into several people recently who remark quickly about the strikes in France. Every visitor to France seems to have a story. Or many.
We've started to take them for granted. A little annoying but normally they don't cause us too many problems.
Visitors have problems getting to and from the airport during a strike. Their favorite museum could be closed due to a strike. Planes might not run. Walking down the street becomes a bit hazardous if you run into a demonstration. It even seems that there is less food in the grocery stores.
We all realize it's part of the culture of France. But it's not among the most charming attributes of a wonderful country.
