Pierce - if you're thinking of lurking in person, do you think Hapi will be there, too?

I'm afraid I'm not sure either one of us can make it - hence the discrete lurking 
Nothing's decided yet, but I can only speak for myself, of course

I have taken Friday afternoon off, so I'll be available from around midday. And also Monday.
Wand'rin Star, I think you said you arrived late tomorrow night (Thursday). If you need some picking up from the station, you can let me know on here. 
And if you don't know what to do on Friday afternoon, I'll be available, as I said above. 
TRiG, did you mention you were leaving on Monday night? If you'd like me to show you around, you know where to find me 
. Also, Bea is arriving at 19:11, I think, so we'll probably still be having apéritif when you two join us.
You might still have my mobile number from Manchester?

You are brilliant.
I'm getting to Champagne Ardenne at 18.50 and should be able to get a taxi to the Hotel touring if you're not around. I'd love to see you some time on Friday if not. Not carrying either phone or computer, I,m afraif.
Greatly looking forward to it

I hear the transport workers are on strike. Will this affect us? It should be OK tomorrow, I am told.

This applies to SNCF, TGV and air traffic control.
Hope we can all still make it!

The website for the Paris airports says they are slowly getting back to normal as the strike has now ended.
Trains should be going back to normal tomorrow.
So it looks like only Wand'rin Star might have some trouble getting here, but there are *some* trains anyway, just not as many as usual.

Can't find anything about WS's train...
...
... Ah, must be the one from Lille. That one seems to be working.

I'll be late, my train is in Reims 22.15 - ish. The hotel has latest check in at 22.. I've mailed them and told I'll be late...
Hopefully not later than that- I have to change between commuter train and metro in Paris to get to the departure station for the train to Reims..
Je ne parle pas francais...
