Opération escargot - activities

Cab mobilization in Paris on Monday, roads and ring road blocked, disruptions to be expected

Paris is gearing up for a day of heavy mobilization. This Monday, March 4, 2024, cab drivers from the Paris region and beyond are gathering for a vast protest operation. At issue is the reform of health insurance reimbursements for medical transport, which has sparked deep discontent within the profession. Motorists have already been warned: the major roads leading to the capital, including the ring road, could experience major disruption from early morning onwards.

The ring road blocked by a farmers' escargot operation: what lies ahead?

This Friday, February 23, farmers, including some 50 tractors, stormed the Paris ring road, creating major traffic jams. The action, planned ahead of the Salon de l'Agriculture at Porte de Versailles, began at dawn and lasted until 10 a.m., before heading towards the 7th arrondissement for a demonstration.
