A general strike in France today is set to cause chaos for Britons travelling across the Channel with budget carrier Ryanair forced to cancel more than 70 flights.
Flights cancelled by the Irish budget airline include services out of Stansted airport to Grenoble, Perpignan, Montpellier, Nantes and Bergerac.
Ryanair has also had to cancel some flights between Liverpool and Carcassonne and between Luton and Nimes and Brest.
The no-frills carrier said customers booked on any of the flights cancelled could re-book free of charge for travel up to April 7 and also for travel from April 24 to 30.
Government workers and members of trade unions in France are due to stop work today in protest at a new employment law.
