Reply To: Is visiting Paris safe?

I was there last fall before the current round of “yellow vest” demonstrations but there were still virtually nonstop demonstrations and work stoppages against Macron and his economic reforms albeit at a smaller scale. Such demonstrations are part of the socal fabric of Paris and have become the norm. In most cases, they are short-term, loud but very peaceful albeit frequently inconvenient. Think of it in terms of Peleg blockades in downtown yerushalyim but substitute farmers and tractors rather than guys in yeshiva lvush. The first 2-3 weeks of the current round of yellow vest demonstrations attracted some anarchist fringe groups who did some window breaking, throwing garbage etc.. (sound familiar?) but in general, the demonstrations over the past few weeks have been peaceful not especially disruptive to the city center tourist districts.
