Paris Riots

By Karen Fawcett Although the riots have occurred in areas rarely if ever frequented if by U.S. tourists, travelers should be aware that train travel from the Charles de Gaulle Airport to the city center may be disrupted at times. Travelers could rely instead on airport buses or taxis to downtown Paris.  Americans should avoid the affected areas that include the northern suburbs of Seine-Saint-Denis, (Clichy-sous-Bois, Aulnay-sous-Bois and Le Blanc-Mesnil) and also Trappes in the southwest of Paris), See the REAL Europe with Rail Europe and should move quickly away from any demonstrations that they may encounter. 

According to news reports, on November 3 the riots moved beyond Paris for the first time with reports of disorder in Dijon in eastern France, Marseilles in the south, and Normandy in the northwest.  Travelers should be alert to news media reports for the most up-to-date information but should not cancel trips to Paris.
