A sit-in by nurses on Parisian train tracks ended in clashes between protesters and police.
Rail traffic between Paris and western France was brought to a grinding halt by several hundred specialised nurses staging protest on the tracks, pressing claims for a greater recognition of their work.
Police forcibly removed the demonstrators but trains were delayed by around 90 minutes.
