Ok, thx.
Please do update frequently. Other than areas around Paris, are there any news of increased violence/incidents around other parts of Europe that you are aware of?
Just wondering...how are the touristy places in Paris city center doing nowadays. Do these riots affect the tourist areas like Arc Triomphe, Champs Elysees, Louvre etc?
Thanks!
Well, as the Calais was shut down today, i mean yesterday, the fights were going on in the town. For now, since you'll be bringing your kid around so I figure that you might need to take extra care with everything that's happening there. I was there during the Euros lol. Probably gonna go back if I've got the time again to travel there (Iceland in Dec
)
For now, the places I know that was affected/nearby the area was Gare du Nord, Stalingrad etc. The camps were set up on the streets and was very near to the station. Since Gare Du Nord is the hub for Eurostar, so do take precaution.
Not here to scare you but yeah, precaution is needed since they have moved into the city.
On a side note, since you're visiting Amsterdam, do you know Anne Frank? Do you like history during the war and stuff? It's about their life during the war and not really on the war itself. If yes, Anne Frank House is a nice choice. I enjoyed it and for me, it's one of the best self-guided museum that I've seen around. From the start, just follow the sequence and enjoy the whole museum.
Oh ya, you bringing a baby carrier/stroller or what? I saw some parents having difficulties with stroller so a lot that I saw just used carriers for their kids.
