Several unions have banded together to coordinate action in an ongoing dispute with the French government over pension reform.
Tuesday 7 March has been earmarked for the walkout; it follows a national strike last week during half-term and action earlier in the year.
France’s public transport network will be a particular target for the eight unions coordinating action, French national title Le Monde reports.
The paper said unions were promising a "black day" on 7 March, one that would "bring France to a standstill".
The Foreign Office on Tuesday (21 February) updated its travel advice to UK residents ahead of the proposed walkouts.
