Demonstrations and unrest are continuing in Paris, but the disruption is not necessarily city-wide. Certain streets and neighbourhoods may be affected by demonstrations, police operations or temporary closures, according to Condé Nast Traveller.
Visitors are advised to choose accommodation away from main squares and places of significance, including République, Bastille, Nation and Place de Clichy. Quieter residential areas on the Rive Gauche, such as the 15th, 14th and 13th arrondissements, are suggested instead.
Keeping informed is important. For metro closures and public transport issues, travellers can check the Bonjour RATP website, while the Préfecture de Police publishes information about demonstrations, traffic restrictions and security measures. French news outlets Franceinfo and Le Monde are also recommended for updates.
Itineraries should remain flexible. Big institutions like the Louvre and the Élysée Palace are better avoided while protests are unfolding, with smaller museums such as the Musée Gustave Moreau and the Musée Zadkine suggested as alternatives. The Eiffel Tower is open and busy, and those who want a photo from a distance can head to Île aux Cygnes.
