Strikes by cheminots (railroad workers) typically target only certain lines. French news sites like lemonde.fr will have the details.
The page I linked to says "Tuesday evening and especially Wednesday, ... one of every two TGVs on north-south routes will run, and only one out of three on Atlantic and southwest routes. Eurostar traffic will be normal, and three out of four Thalys trains will operate."

The bolded stretch should be of special interest to tourists; this links CDG to Gare Du Nord--the route they use to get to Paris.
