It can't possibly be worse transportwise than the 2016 competition when the ports were blockaded and thus a fuel crisis so we didn't know if we would be able to use our hire car and air traffic control were on strike so we didn't know until 24 hours before we were due to fly out if we would be able to get there. The trains and buses were on strike too. We had a hotel near Bordeaux airport which had a 24 shuttle service. Except it didn't so we had to pay for taxis as 50 a pop. Used to go to France every year but haven't been back since nor do I intend to.
