Protests and riots around Paris after report of police brutality

Riots and protests have occurred in the Aulnay-sous-Bois neighbourhood in the Seine-Saint-Denis suburb, as well as protests in Paris after a man was allegedly a victim of police brutality. In some areas, the protests have turned violent.

Advice

There is tension at this time in the economically-disadvantaged neighbourhoods of Paris. French police have been accused of using excessive force against suspects in these neighbourhoods, reportedly those of primarily African origin.

Travellers should avoid these areas, which include the Aulnay-sous-Bois neighbourhood in the Seine-Saint-Denis prefecture, Tremblay-en-France, and Clichy-Sous-Bois.
