We had a few days in Paris during the social movements as they say. Natalie and helpers kept us informed that there are no risks the life as it is without 80% of public transportation. It was so, the location was great as our son wanted to see the tour Eiffel, it was couple of minutes away. As no transportation we walked a lot and somehow crossed each day the tower :-) The house have plenty of flats in it, one evening the kids above must have a party.. such things happens time to time :-)
