Demonstrations
There is an increased likelihood of demonstrations, political gatherings and marches taking place across France, sometimes at short notice.
Whilst most demonstrations are peaceful, you should remain aware of your surroundings. Stay away from areas with large crowds or a significant police presence, and follow the advice of police and local authorities.
Demonstrations may disrupt local transport services and authorities may impose public safety measures, including partial and localised curfews in some areas. Monitor local media for the latest information about measures in your area.
