Transport services across the Côte d’Azur are expected to run largely as normal today, Tuesday 2 December, despite a nationwide strike called by the inter-union coalition in opposition to the 2026 Finance Bill.

The unions, which have denounced the bill as “catastrophic” and “unfair”, are urging widespread mobilisation, though the level of participation remains uncertain.
Early indications suggest the walkout will have only a limited effect on travel in the region.
According to Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot, TGV services should operate normally throughout the day.
Some localised disruptions are anticipated on Intercités routes and certain TER lines, but these are expected to remain contained.
In aviation, authorities say no impact on flight schedules is expected, with only three employees having declared themselves on strike by mid-afternoon on Monday.
Road traffic is also projected to remain unaffected, as strike participation among staff in the inter-departmental road directorates is expected to be minimal.
Overall, while the strike forms part of a broader nationwide protest movement, travellers on the Côte d’Azur are unlikely to face significant disruption, with the region’s transport network expected to function close to normal levels.
