I’m due to be travelling to Paris in the somewhat near future. Should I just call it off?! The news looks absolutely terrifying!

Anyone? Is it unreasonable to go?

You'll be fine. It was mostly a weekend thing this time.

Go to Paris, Texas instead.

I'm unsure, we're going a week today and unless something extreme happens we'll still be going

I would still go.

Seriously, I was in Montpellier yesterday and then Paris. All very easy to avoid. There's stuff going on for sure, and its serious, but still completely ok to travel.

Oh god, ive been so busy laughing at the French and their rioting ways that i hadn't even thought that means that Paris might be off the menu this winter 😩

How soon are you due to be travelling? If it's not today/tomorrow I would keep an eye on the news and decide nearer the time. The reason why you're going is also relevant. City break in Paris? Or travelling via Paris to get somewhere else? Or meeting up with someone/in Paris for a work event?

We are going on Thursday for the weekend and not worried. Word on the ground is that it’s settled today and the unrest is only in certain areas, not the tourist areas. Unless anything dramatic changes we are going as planned.

Of course you should go.

It is not a war zone and the media are always picking up on the worst bits of any protests.

Remember the riots across the UK in 2011.? The way the media, who don't let any story go in exaggerated, showed it the whole of Britain was collapsing.

Go, avoid the trouble spots, the French police will deal with it. Walk away from an protests and you will be fine
