Here is a statement released from oasisinet.com:
3 November 1997: Oasis have started their European tour in Lille, France tonight but because of the stranglehold of the French Truckers industrial action their production and equipment is unable to move out of Lille. Consequently, Oasis had to postpone their next three French shows scheduled for Paris, Angers, and Bordeaux.
The band have done everything possible to honour the shows by traveling to France but circumstances out of their control meant they have regrettably had to postpone the three French shows.
The rest of the European tour will resume in Zaragoza in Spain on Saturday 8th November.
The band do still intend to travel to Paris to appear on the French TV show "Nulle Part Ailluers" on Wednesday 5th November.
