Is there talk of any strikes in France that would affect travellers this summer?

None so far -- summer isn%26#39;t a popular time for strikes, because everyone%26#39;s on vacation...so fewer people to strike, and fewer people to inconvenience.

I asked because our train engineers are planning to go on strike now and the railways are cancelling their long-distance trips.

It%26#39;s a cultural thing -- as far as I know (and I don%26#39;t even play an expert on Canada on TV, although I have loved the time I%26#39;ve spent in Toronto!) -- Canadians don%26#39;t get 5-7 weeks%26#39; vacation per year, and don%26#39;t tend to take them in July and August.
That is, however, pretty common over here...so if everybody%26#39;s on vacation, there%26#39;s markedly fewer people working -- so a strike doesn%26#39;t have as much impact as it would in the other months.
