Paris curfew extended through October 26: République, Les Halles restricted 11 p.m.–6 a.m.; U.S. Embassy issues security alert
Paris police prefecture extended the curfew to the nights of Oct 22–26; RATP closes five metro/RER stations from 10 p.m. tonight. The U.S. Embassy in Paris issued a security alert on Oct 22, warning of weekend protests and urging caution around Sunday's NFL game.
Why it matters
After the October 17 national mobilization against the high cost of living turned violent in Paris, Lyon and Marseille, three nights of curfew have been followed by an extension covering the October 24–25 protest weekend — a signal authorities do not yet see the unrest easing. The U.S. State Department updated its France travel advisory on October 21.
