Most of the time, climate change activists support trains and therefore would probably not disrupt the network, especially in France.

Somehow I thought it was a way to protest against mass tourism, in this case due to Olympic Games...

So now I'm concerned, do we know who did it and why ?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41077894 cites a source claiming Russian sabotage.

And I recall hearing a month ago or more that Russia would likely try something, because they aren't allowed in the Olympics as Russia, because of the invasion of Ukraine. So they want to mar the Olympics out of saving face, or spite, or revenge, or whatever. (Sorry, I cannot cite a source...)
