Around 800,000 people are expected to join marches across France on Thursday.
French trade unions across many sectors from schools to transport have called for the nationwide strike to oppose unpopular budget plans.
It is expected to be the biggest day of demonstrations since 2023, when large numbers took to the streets to protest against the use of executive powers to push through Emmanuel Macron’s raising of the French pension age to 64 without a vote in parliament.
