With reference to this question (which had clearly stated conditions), I booked a roundtrip flight from Hungary to Tunisia on Air France and the departure flight was cancelled. They automatically placed me on a flight that leaves three hours earlier when no public transit is running.

To my knowledge the Conditions of Carriage do not specify whether this is acceptable. Am I entitled to a refund according to Air France or EU regulations?

    How long between the change and the departure?

    In other words: How far in advance of the date of travel did the airline inform you about the change?

  • Months, but apparently I learned that the time between change and departure is not relevant in this case.

It turns out that EU regulations require that the customer be able to choose between rebooking or a refund when a flight is cancelled, a fact which the airlines conveniently obscured when automatically rebooking me. When I finally got a response, they immediately agreed and I found an Alitalia flight that was more convenient and cheaper anyhow.
