Foreign Office updates its travel advice after days of unrest across
France, with 45,000 police deployed to prevent unrest on Friday evening

British tourists have been warned about travelling in France as the country imposed traffic shutdowns to try and quell nationwide rioting caused by a policeman shooting a teenager dead.

The Foreign Office on Friday updated its travel advice as a response to the violence, saying: “Some local authorities may impose curfews. Locations and timing of riots are unpredictable.

“You should monitor the media, avoid areas where riots are taking place, check the latest advice with operators when travelling and follow the
advice of the authorities.”
