A few hours before the start of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, the French capital is facing an unusual and chaotic situation.
The BBC reports that high-speed rail has been damaged in several regions and has caused passenger congestion at Gare Montparnasse station in Paris. A large number of trains have been cancelled, while railway authorities have warned that the situation could last well into the weekend until repairs are carried out.
The French railway company SNCF has announced that three lines have been interrupted, while it is noted that unidentified persons are trying to paralyze the railway network, setting fires to damage the network.
In a recent reaction, the SNCF president said that at least 800,000 passengers were affected by the chaos in the railway system.
Eurostar has announced the cancellation of 25% of all scheduled services until Sunday, following the chaos caused by sabotage on French railways. The rail company, which operates international services from London’s St Pancras, has confirmed that 25% of its trains will no longer run on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Some services to Paris have already been cancelled, others have been diverted or delayed due to ongoing problems and customers are being asked to cancel their journeys where possible.
“Eurostar expects this situation to last until Monday morning,” the company said in a statement.
