Niko Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 political subject unpolitical motivation, a question to those located in paris / knowing paris better than me... i don't really know who else to ask... probably i am silly, but, my girlfriend is in paris at the moment, reading about the riots i was a bit worried, because the riots started in Villiers-le-Bel just about 6 kilometers (4 miles) away from the Charles de Gaulle airport and i have read they have spread quite a bit in the area... reading about 77 wounded police men in one night and the riots still continuing it seems like the situation is far from under control; is it totally unproblematic to take the RER to the airport tommorow evening or would you rather, say, stay a few more days or leave paris by train or something else... thank you very much!!

Claude Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 I'm not in Paris, but I watch french media daily. As far as I know, the riots are limited to certain streets, and I'm pretty sure the authorities would not allow them to spread to main communication lines. Police has been heavily reinforced. This evening, there have been no incidents so far. So I suggest your girlfriend should just travel as planned. Quote

Taxi (the scenic route if necessary)? Quote

Much less incidents last night. In Paris, the only signs that something is going on is when you tune in on news reports on the radio or on TV. The rios have had absolutely no incidence on the regular RER rides to Roissy/CDG airport. Best way to go to the airport! Quote
