Curfews bring calm to Paris as France cracks down on weekend rioters
Authorities said 2,400 people were arrested as overnight curfews brought a calmer night and officials prepared for more demonstrations.
- On Tuesday, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced targeted overnight curfews in Paris, Bordeaux, and Nice after weekend protests descended into rioting and looting across France.
- Violent rioting erupted Saturday as student-led demonstrations against rising living costs devolved into arson and looting, damaging at least 3,000 businesses nationwide according to preliminary estimates.
- Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin reported that police detained 2,513 people during the weekend unrest, while the United States and other nations issued travel advisories citing security concerns.
- Targeted curfews helped keep the night calm on Monday, Lecornu said, adding that local prefects will coordinate with mayors to decide further restrictions where needed.
- Organizers have called for further demonstrations on October 24 as Lecornu's minority government negotiates the 2027 budget, testing whether curfews can sustain calm amid ongoing grievances.
