A small group of strikers staged the unexpected action on Monday lunchtime, after protesting outside the headquarters of Paris transport network RATP they moved to Gare du Lyon station and into the Metro network, where they let off flares. It is reported that there were clashes between strikers and police in the station. 🇫🇷 Alors que la police tente sans grand succès de contenir les manifestants à l’extérieur, dans la Gare de Lyon, la détermination ne retombe pas. This is resulted in five of the few Metro stations which are still open being closed on orders of the police. Traffic was also briefly halted on Line 1 - which as an automated Metro line is one of only two offering normal service during the strikes.
