Paris Metro drivers call strike over working conditions
The strike is over changes to working conditions for drivers on Line 3, which is introducing extra services in a bid to avoid overcrowding.
The one-day strike is set to affect three lines;
Line 3 - half of normal services will run
Line 3b - no services all day
Line 13 - three out of four of the normal services will run
The rest of the Metro lines are set to run as normal on Friday, and the action will not affect city bus, tram or RER services.
The strike comes the day before the Fête de la musique, which this year falls on Saturday - transport operator RATP has announced that lines 1, 2 4, 6, 9 and 14 will run all night on Saturday/Sunday night. There will also be a special Fête de la musique ticket which costs €4.20 and allows unlimited travel between 5pm on Saturday, June 21st and 7am on Sunday.

Paris deputy mayor calls for better regulation of tourism to avoid protests
Tourism in Paris is nothing new - the city welcomes between 35 million and 40 million visitors a year and has some of the most-visited tourist attractions in the world including the Eiffel Tower (7 million visitors per year) and the Louvre (10 million visitors per year). But those already impressive numbers seem to have received a post-Olympics boost with Frédéric Hocquard, the Paris deputy mayor in charge of tourism and the night-time economy, saying that the city has seen a significant post-Olympics bounce, with provisional figures showing a 5-10 percent increase on previous years. He added that the Olympics also seems to have changed the profile of visitors - previously tourists to Paris largely comprised of family groups or people wanting to visit cultural sites, this year has seen a big increase in younger visitors interested in nightlife and entertainment. Advertisement This year's Fête de la musique in Paris was much busier than usual, which organisers think was partly due to British and American influencers promoting the event in advance to their followers as 'France's best all-night party'. The Paris Olympics opening ceremony and the Games vibe of 'Paris est un fête' (Paris is a party) is credited with making the city a cooler destination for younger visitors. While welcoming the interest, Hocquard told French newspaper Libération that he believed the time had come to better regulate Paris tourism, or risk rejection from locals and possibly the type of anti-tourism protests seen in Spain and Italy. While remaining the world's most-visited tourist destination, France has so far managed to avoid the protests against over-tourism seen around Europe. READ ALSO : How has France avoided Europe's anti-tourism protests? He told the paper: "Paris is usually more of a family tourist destination, but we've had an influx of young, party-loving tourists this year. "The rules of tourism have been turned upside down. Now it's a mix of Fête de la Musique and Fashion Week. "For several months now, in certain places, we've been seeing tourists who say they've come to see a particular artist. When they're in Paris, they no longer just go to clubs for their last night out. "And for the first time, we've had tourists coming in droves during the first half of August. My question now is: will we see the same phenomenon for the rest of the year?" Advertisement He added: "I am sounding the alarm because Paris has been a tourist destination for a very long time - but I am not sure we have the capacity to absorb an increase in visitor numbers. "We are starting to see congestion in the centre of Paris. If we are not careful and do not regulate tourism after the Olympics, we risk the population rejecting tourists. We are not there yet, but we are asking for regulation." His solution is twofold - better regulation of certain tourist-related activities and a wider spread of tourists so they are not all staying in the same small area of central Paris. He said: "We need regulation - we need to get tourist coaches out of the city and have fewer flight slots. "We also need to spread the load across the greater Paris area - the city centre is saturated. "We work a lot with [the suburban département] Seine-Saint-Denis. The development of cycling also helps with this. On foot, you don't go two kilometres from your hotel, but by bike, it's easier to get around. It's also a question of public service, both in terms of transport and ensuring cleanliness. Apart from business tourism, we are no longer in the business of conquering new markets. "In short, we are no longer promoting Paris, and we are starting to regulate."

La vasque: How to see the Paris balloon this summer
The balloon was reintroduced as a tourist attraction on Saturday and it rose for the first time above Paris' Tuileries garden during the city's street music festival Fête de la Musique. It will stay anchored in central Paris until September 14th, 2025 and will remain a summer tradition until the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The giant balloon was first seen during the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, when it rose into the sky carrying the Olympic flame and officially launched the Games - although due to a clever design the 'flame' is actually water vapour. Now it's back - as per last summer it will be anchored at ground level in the Tuileries gardens during the day, and will rise up into the sky at sunset. Advertisement The takeoff time will change throughout summer as the days get shorter. It will rise at 10.30pm in June and July, then at 9.30pm in August, and at 8.30pm in September. The balloon will stay lifted until around 2am each night. Paris' City Hall recommends watching the balloon go up from five locations: Place du Carrousel, the banks of the Seine (between Paris Mint and the National Assembly), the Champs-Élysées, Rue de Rivoli, and the square of the Sacré Cœur in Montmartre. During the day it is moored on the ground at the Place du Carrousel - this is open to visitors from 10am to 9pm and unlike last summer no tickets are required. The balloon's scheduled ascent and descent times are available at along with any weather-related cancellations or changes to the schedule.

French Expression of the Day: Sourire du plombier
Why do I need to know sourire du plombier ? If ever you find yourself in a supermarket or Metro when someone bends down just that little bit too far and you get a vision that you would have preferred to live without, sourire du plombier is the phrase for you. What does it mean? Sourire du plombier - pronounced as soo-rear-du-plom-be-ay - literally means 'the plumber's smile' but it also has a figurative meaning. It's that slightly embarrassing encounter between a customer and the beginning of their craftsman's buttock and is the equivalent to the English phrase 'builder's bum'. Advertisement It occurs when one person is leaning forward or squatting and the elastic has slightly gone in their trouser waistband. The French version is a little broader, however, and also refers to the sighting of underwear above trousers. In other words, almost every male teenager across the world is guilty of showing a sourire du plombier . Interestingly, a French company identified this style issue and created a line of boxer shorts specifically designed to hide your sourire. Use it like this Si tu te penches encore plus, je verrai bien plus qu'un simple sourire du plombier. If you bend over any further, I'll see a lot more than just a plumber's smile.
