Ah, in May? My guess which is always imperfect, is it'll most likely be fine?

Though, not by design, but I was in Paris during the initial strike and while did notice some disruptions, it wasn't really anything that phased me, after having been through these things in my own country, here and in HK. So, while there are some risks and a less than ideal time to visit, it isn't completely impossible to manage, in my view. As to what's going on now, I wouldn't go for a leisure visit tomorrow or even next week (though I do have a layover on my return from SE Asia next week via CDG), all of this should boil over by May, or at least they should have it under control.

While this could of course change, I've noticed the protestors really have no interest in disrupting tourists and make every effort to make their point without doing so, though not always successful. Case in point, my flight leading CDG was hit with a 6 or 7 hour delay, but it wasn't anything a seasoned traveler (by FT standards, I'm probably less seasoned than most) wouldn't be able to handle relatively easily.
