There has been a spate of industiral action at AF recently, though this is hardly news in their case.
Some friends were booked to fly from Mauritius to London via Paris last Monday, but had the final CDG-LHR legged cancelled and had to fly on the Tuesday morning. They has a stressful time finding somwhere to stay especially as no native taxi driver would take them on a 40 Euro ride and it was a Pole who took them in the end. AF made no extra provision at CDG for the inbound 747 full of passengers, so chaos ensued along with much shrugging of shoulders. I gather the in flight catering was good, but I think it would take a lot to get them to ever board an AF flight again.
