In an optically smart move by French authorities, the main shopping and tourist regions of Paris are now under a localized curfew as police try to stop the riots, arson and looting – yet maintain the important tourism aspect. Other towns in France are also ordering curfews in the districts with the spreading violence.
CBC – Paris police issued an overnight curfew on Monday in two areas of the French capital in efforts to prevent further violence, after a weekend marred by France’s worst rioting in years that targeted city halls, other public buildings and thousands of businesses across the country.
The order aims to protect “people and property from the violence and looting,” the Paris police statement said.
The curfew prohibits anyone from entering or remaining on the Place de la République, where rioting took place Saturday, and the shopping neighbourhood of Les Halles, which has been subject to looting.
The curfew will be in effect from 11 p.m. local time Monday until 6 a.m. Tuesday. In addition, gatherings and demonstrations are banned from 8 p.m., the Paris police said.
[…] In northern France, local authorities imposed a curfew for children and teenagers under age 18 in several cities, including Lille, starting from Monday and for the next two days from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Nice, on the French Riviera, also imposed an overnight curfew for minors from 9 p.m.
[…] The prime minister’s instructions come after France’s interior minister Laurent Nuñez offered his resignation Sunday. But President Emmanuel Macron refused it “given the need for continued command of law enforcement in the current context,” Macron’s office said in a statement Monday.
He instructed Nuñez “to take all necessary steps to ensure full transparency about the failures in planning and intelligence-gathering that led to the violence,” the statement said.
Macron also asked for the introduction of “new policing tactics on the ground as quickly as possible” to put an end to the violence. (read more)

PARIS, Oct 19 (Reuters) – French authorities set curfews in parts of several cities on Monday, including Paris, Lille and Nice, as they faced pressure over security failings after a weekend of riots and looting stemming from nationwide anti-government protests.
Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu had ruled out a blanket curfew in Paris but not a state of emergency, and had said it was more appropriate for now to apply partial and localised curfews.
“My determination to restore order is absolute,” he told reporters.
Paris police said they had issued orders barring protests in certain areas of the French capital from 8 p.m. (1800 GMT) and had issued a curfew around the Place de la Republique and Les Halles from 11:00 p.m. Both would remain in effect until 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
“A police deployment is in place to ensure strict compliance with these measures,” the police said in a statement.
A source in Lecornu’s office said a curfew for minors had been set between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. for the next two days in Lille, Douai, Wattignies and Denain with the agreement of the local mayors. (read more)
This is exactly what will happen in America if the communist democrats can keep their useful idiots.
Hey morons take a look. It doesn’t look like your fellow morons are having a good time.
uhh…..i remeber some riots……what was it….pink ffloyd…….george floyd…..something like that.
And do any of us actually believe these finger wagging curfews from on high will be observed?
Call me cynical, but after the past few apocalyptic days, I for one do not.
So feeble has Macron been in his response….he after reportedly fleeing to Egypt…that there is part of me which wonders if he would rather the insurrection continue and continue and…
Marine Le Pen increases her poll and approval lead with each passing day.
Zelenskyy set the standard…no elections in Ukraine where he reigns as Despot Supreme until the “war is over”. Which since it’s his safe space, he will do everything to obstruct an ending for.
Do we suppose Macron isn’t thinking along the same lines?
Two small (in every way) men (?) with Napoleonic complexes thinking alike?
I wouldn’t bet against it.
Because of “Trump’s fuel prices”? Ain’t fooling anyone Macaron.
If it wasn’t for Trump gas prices would be $12.00 a gallon
And the way they were shutting down pipelines, we may not have had any gas at all.
No gas stoves either.
Imported third world war fighters don’t follow curfew orders.
A lot of those protesters are white.
The biggest problem in the U.S. are affluent white women, everyone of them cancels their husband’s vote.
They’re so simple that’s probably the real objective.
They used to call it penis envy.
Hell of a thing to lose your Country over.
The French are revolting
I don’t think it is the French…..
Religion of mostly peace?
The peace of the graveyard.
I would bet money on Soros tentacles being heavily involved. Matt Walsh does amazing work exposing the ‘woke’ mentally retarded teachers, professors, doctors, etc. over at Dailywire. I always knew academia was indoctrinating our children into hate-filled leftist, but it is far worse than I knew. These people are literally insane with Satanic hate. That’s what they were taught for the last 40+ years. My own son was raised by a very conservative father- me! Now he is a gay, flaming leftist college grad (rabid Trump hater) with a low-paying job and a huge debt that he complains about every time I see him, which isn’t often. LOL!
They’ve always been crude and revolting
If only they would!
Well I guess that’s that. Problem solved.
BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE!!!
Burn #*#$% Burn.
Here you go
Well, maybe that couple sitting at a table are fellow treepers, “just living their best life.”

Journalist Paul Amar said that rioters who tore through Marseille had specific addresses to target and deliberately burned every Jewish-owned business on one street while leaving M*slim-owned shops on the same street untouched.
“They came prepared. They had the addresses of town halls. They had addresses of Jewish shop owners.”
In a street in Marseille, all businesses owned by Jews were set on fire. Businesses run by M*slims were not”
Amar, a French television journalist, made the comments the day after mass looting and vandalism erupted across the country. He said the rioters were highly prepared.
“There is a degree of preparation for this day that is absolutely important. They had the addresses of the prefectures. They had the addresses of quite a few Jewish shopkeepers.
In a street in Marseille, all the businesses owned by Jews were set on fire. The businesses run by M*slims were not.”
In Marseille, there were more than 30,000 people (migrants) involved in looting.
The Chamber of Commerce estimated that more than 600 shops were damaged or looted across the city center.
Targets included luxury and high-street stores such as Hermès, Rolex, Lacoste, SFR, Fnac, and the Centre Bourse mall.
Damage was widespread on streets including Saint-Ferréol, Grignan, Canebière, and Paradis.
Officers were injured.
Mayor Benoît Payan and Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez both described the violence as the work of casseurs (smashers) and delinquents, not ordinary protesters.
What does it tell you when no M*slim businesses were touched?
No pork products or toilet paper looted either.
FUEL PRICES ARE TOO HIGH SO LETS USE FUEL TO BURN THING DOWN! CONFLAGRATION!
No let’s elect communists. Not
What good are curfews if you don’t have the intestinal fortitude to enforce them.
“And we mean it!”
Good job with those words…wonder why it’s not working.
Oh yeah, they are taking over because you are weak and allow it.
Why aren’t tens of thousands of French and Italian men in the streets, smashing faces and skulls with axe handles?
Why didn’t French and Italian presidents send the military in with STK orders?
I think we know the answer.
This is exactly what will happen in America if the communist democrats can keep their useful idiots.
Hey morons take a look. It doesn’t look like your fellow morons are having a good time.
This should end forever any thought regarding the need for our 2a.
If they wanted it to stop, they’d stop it quickly with some ammunition.
If certain people actually had balls this would have stopped on day one.
But then again French boy can’t get his balls back from his wife.
imposed an overnight curfew for minors from 9 p.m………Fat chance that all of the rioters under 18.
And regarding these ‘thousands of arrests’ that we’ve read for the past three weeks, seen any videos? Compare videos of BLM, antifa, and ICE arresting even one rioter and it’s all over social media with the thuggies attacking police and ICE.
It would certainly be to Macron’s, et al.’s political benefit to lie about the numbers arrested like they are actually doing something manly.
Lawlessness breaks out when the citizens are disarmed and must rely on a self-serving government that has imported aliens apposed to very government inviting them in unchecked. Its almost as if Macron wants it to happen; is this purposeful?
Yes, it is purposeful.
An armed society is a polite society
NEVER NEVER NEVER give up your guns people! If the Dems get in power Mark Kelly will be coming for them.
France is not going to surrender?
Shocked, I tell you.
The French military need to do a Kent State on these horrible little thugs. Shoot a few and the rest will stop thinking it’s cool to burn the cities down. It may be a harsh measure but what they are doing cannot be tolerated.
I suspect that the phrase “aim to protect” has a different meaning in the rural US. As for France, it may be too late.
What an abject non entity. As Paris burns he’s demanding scapegoats. Coming soon to Canada.
