Paris is currently experiencing a wave of violent attacks and civil unrest. The situation is highly volatile and poses a significant risk to personal safety and security. We strongly advise against all non-crucial travel to Paris at this time. Reports indicate that several super markets and retail outlets have been looted in various parts of the city. This criminal activity has led to a breakdown of law and order, creating an unsafe environment for residents and visitors alike. It is imperative to exercise extreme caution and avoid areas where demonstrations or looting may be taking place.}}


The 9th arrondissement of Paris is a diverse, "in between" section of the French capital. The Grands Boulevards area of shopping thoroughfares and flagship department stores (as well as the original Opera - hence the common name for the neighborhood) is to be found in the southern part of the arrondissement (shared with the Paris/2nd_arrondissement|2nd and the Paris/8th_arrondissement|8th). By way of contrast and the fading red-light and affordable shopping neighborhood of Pigalle is in the north of the 9th, closely adjoining Montmartre on the hill above in the Paris/18th_arrondissement|18th. In between the two, relatively-speaking, lies a traveller's no-man's-land / terra incognita - though the streets around Street Lazare used to be the Impressionists stronghold in Paris.

Travel Warning: Paris Under Attacks and Looting Incidents

Date: July 1, 2023

Paris is currently experiencing a wave of violent attacks and civil unrest. The situation is highly volatile and poses a significant risk to personal safety and security. We strongly advise against all non-crucial travel to Paris at this time.

Reports indicate that several super markets and retail outlets have been looted in various parts of the city. This criminal activity has led to a breakdown of law and order, creating an unsafe environment for residents and visitors alike. It is imperative to exercise extreme caution and avoid areas where demonstrations or looting may be taking place.

We also want to emphasize that tensions are high and there have been instances of discrimination and violence targeting specific ethnic or religious groups. We strongly condemn any form of discrimination, but we must prioritize the safety of our travelers. We advise Muslim travelers, especially those who may not appear Caucasian, to exercise additional caution and consider avoiding travel to Paris until the situation stabilizes.

We urge all travelers currently in Paris to stay vigilant, stay indoors whenever feasible, and follow the guidance of local authorities. It is crucial to maintain awareness of the rapidly changing situation by regularly checking the news, contacting your hotel for updates, and following instructions provided by the local authorities.
