The curfew was put into place last night, the first time it has happened since 1944 apparently, but it was lifted again by this morning. It's still recommended to not go outside unless you have to, but not forbidden. (Very recently a car reportedly with four heavily armed people in it broke through a police barrier, driving towards Paris - nobody knows if directly connected yet..)
It's still quite a tense atmosphere here.
- dbcooper 11y agoThanks for clarifying that.
- hk__2 11y agoThis is untrue, there’s no curfew in Paris. It’s not forbidden to go out and it wasn’t last night.
- corin_ 11y agoI can't find good sources in French press (though my French isn't great), but it was reported by local TV news last night, and for example some English press still has it like this Telegraph blog [1] which says "Authorities warned that "accomplices" were likely to be still at large in the city, that was placed under a curfew for the first time since the Nazi occupation in 1944." It could well be that it was misinformation, there was plenty of that last night, but for sure the state of national emergency that has been declared does mean that they can inflict a curfew if they want. Anyway, I just went to the main road for the first time now and it's quieter than a normal Saturday but still fairly busy.

- corin_ 11y agoFrench press has been (understandably I guess) ahead of international press on most of this stuff. Personally I'm following http://www.metronews.fr/ http://www.metronews.fr/ http://www.lemonde.fr/ http://www.lemonde.fr/ and http://www.leparisien.fr/ http://www.leparisien.fr/ Despite living here, my French isn't great so mainly using Google translate.
- corin_ 11y agoWorth noting that it turned out to be a non-story afterall, no armed car heading towards Paris.
