  • RATP said around 70% of its bus network ran normally or nearly normally despite early pickets at some depots.
  • The interior minister reported about 230 public actions, 95 attempted blockages, roughly 10,000 participants and 58 arrests, including 11 in Paris.
  • ADP and Air France reported normal operations at Paris airports, while Basel-Mulhouse canceled 35 flights.
  • Outside Île-de-France, disruptions were localized, including a brief bus depot blockade near Lille, a slow-moving convoy near Toulon and an interrupted tunnel action in Marseille.
