Anticipate ongoing travel and security disruptions throughout France due to widespread, violent protests following the death of a 17-year-old Parisian in police custody.
On June 27, Nanterre police shot and killed 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk during a police traffic stop. Protests denouncing the shooting developed into a nationwide movement against police brutality, culminating in five nights of rioting between June 27–July 1. The associated violence saw major acts of arson and vandalism in almost all French urban centers, including Paris, Marseilles, Lyon, Bordeaux, and Roubaix, leading to the arrests of thousands of participants.
