With continuing strikes and unrest on the streets of France with people protesting over pension reforms, education as well as transports across the country has been affected. Travellers should check carefully before making plans to travel within France at this time.

There have been four bomb alerts in the Paris region over the past four weeks, and one on Tuesday saw the second evacuation of the Eiffel Tower and the Champs de Mars park – there was another one last week. A search failed to turn up any explosives.
