Would you travel to Paris on July 10th?

[Bholli]

Do you think the unrest will have fizzled out by then?

I wouldn’t go to France this year to be Frank.

I'd decide next week but be prepared to cancel. Being in an area with riots or/and a curfew isn't how I'd choose to spend my time.

Same here OP. We're supposed to be going on the 13th so we're watching how events unfold.

Nope I just couldn’t but I’m very risk adverse ! I think the worry and anxiety id have constantly whilst there would be immense and ruin it anyway - but no I would not be going

I’m there now and to be honest I wouldn’t even have known it was happening if family from home hadn’t been in contact and told me. And I’m staying in the centre of Paris.

Protest is what the French are good at. It's part of their culture. Along with everything else the country has had to put up with from the gendarmerie and the government over the past few years it's not surprising that society is rising up. I say, fair play.

Despite that I'd put my tin hat on and still go. Paris is fabulous. You're more like to get hurt by the rudeness you encounter than a flying incendiary. I've visited during riots before. Just walk away from the hoo-ha, and you'll be fine.

I wouldn't hesitate. This isn't like the normal protests in France, this is teenagers on the rampage. It'll be over in a couple of days.

Thé French love to protest. I wouldn't let it stop my holiday. Paris is a big city.

I'm travelling then to Paris with a nervous child and not sure whether to go or not. I keep thinking that there are always protesting in France but this feels different

We're travelling on the 17th, no plans to cancel.

Ok seems like we need to err on the hopeful side then!

Yes.

The unrest/riots themselves are not the issue, because you can steer well clear. The problem will be if Macron declares a State of Emergency, which will shut down a lot of public transport and put in curfews. It won't make for a fun holiday! In addition, the FO may warn against all but essential travel to France. So it is official responses you need to watch out for, and it's too early to say what the French Government might do.

Check the FCO advice daily. It's a volatile situation and the FCO advice will be updated to reflect that.

Oh blimey I'm going to Disneyland me plus two children, I've never travelled abroad with them on my own. We were planning a Paris day trip as well.

Same question here - but nervous and will see what FO advice is next week. Planned it ages ago and already changes dates once

It wouldn't put me off at all

We are travelling on the 9th, no plans to cancel. Flying from Paris on to Greece for the rest of our holiday so have to get there really !!

I live in Spain and go to France frequently I also have friends living there. British press love to report inaccuracies. Yes these protests are happening but they are nothing like being reported. It's not even reported on here go and enjoy your holiday

The riots aren't only being reported in the British media. All the international news agencies and media are reporting about France atm.

Why?

Heading there next Saturday, not concerned

I'm travelling on Monday, and have no plans to cancel unless the advice changes between now and then

I’d go op

Although I’m surprised that apparently Spain isn’t reporting it at all in pp

The rioting affected the champs elysees last night. I hope it dies out soon!
