As labor protests and strikes continue throughout France, Prince Charles recently canceled his planned trip to Paris. But what does the situation look like for the average tourist? Should you scrap plans to visit the country as well?
News reports emerging from France describe a scene that includes varying degrees of impact and disruption. One report from late in March described piles of trash being set on fire around Paris, armed police out in force and the noise of fire engine sirens being heard throughout the night. There were also clashes between protesters and police near the Place de la Concorde.
One news outlet described large smoke plumes being visible across the city skyline from rooftop terraces where travelers gather to take in the views.
