The first tests are being carried out at Gare de Lyon in Paris with five "Health Terminals" installed on the platform, available for tests on a voluntary basis. IMAGES
France's transport strike seems to be running out of steam with Gare de l'Est in Paris almost back to normal this morning, despite another day of planned demonstrations across the capital. IMAGES
