PARIS, Dec 15 (Reuters) - A two-day strike at Total's Feyzin (TOTF.PA) refinery in southeast France ended at 1300 GMT on Tuesday just three hours ahead of a meeting to sign a pay deal, Total and the CGT union said.

"The refinery restarted production and deliveries," a union spokesman told Reuters.

A meeting between Total's management and the unions is scheduled for 1600 GMT. The parties are expected to sign an agreement for a 2.7 percent pay increase. (Reporting by Muriel Boselli)
