Rioting has unfold throughout the nation following the deadly taking pictures by police of 17-year-old boy Nahel within the Paris suburb of Nanterre on Tuesday.

The UK Government up to date its steering for travellers to France to warn of “potential disruption” however it doesn't advise towards journey to the nation.

Health Secretary Steve Barclay inspired individuals contemplating travelling to France to test the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) for up to date recommendation.

“They keep regular updates on their website.

“And what I would say to anyone concerned about it who is thinking of travelling to France, to keep an eye on the Foreign Office website, there will be regular updates there, and that will keep people informed.”

Paul Charles, founding father of journey consultancy The PC Agency, steered individuals mustn't cancel their journeys as they might not be coated by their journey insurance coverage until the FCDO suggested towards journey to France.

He advised the PA news company: “It’s clearly a nerve-wracking time for those planning to go, it’s vital to keep up to date with the latest news because it’s such a fast-moving situation and UK travellers are going to have to be flexible in their planning.

“My advice would be to stay clear for the moment of big cities in the evenings, make sure you are not going to areas where there is likely to be large protests taking place and seek advice from the hotel you are staying in or from local websites which are being updated about the situation.

“The last thing you should do is cancel your trip because you would not be covered under travel insurance for that because you are still able to travel, flights and ferries are still going, you would suffer quite a financial loss.

“The travel advice would have to change from the Government to one of ‘we advise against travel’ and that is not what they are doing at the moment.”

He added: “This has the potential to flare up into a much more worrying situation because of the deep frustration in some French cities about the political situation, it could easily get worse before it gets better.

“It follows demonstrations about pension reform and what you are seeing now is a widening into other political issues and during hot summer evenings in France this has the potential to get worse.

“I wouldn’t say don’t book a holiday to France, it remains a very attractive place to go but book to go somewhere that is more remote, quieter, that isn’t a big city and steer clear of big cities in the evenings.”

The newest FCDO recommendation states: “Since June 27, riots have taken place across France.

“Many have turned violent. Shops, public buildings and parked cars have been targeted.

“There may be disruptions to road travel and local transport provision may be reduced.

“Some local authorities may impose curfews. Locations and timing of riots are unpredictable.

“You should monitor the media, avoid areas where riots are taking place, check the latest advice with operators when travelling and follow the advice of the authorities.”
