On Monday, Paris police announced a night-time curfew in two districts, aimed at protecting civilians and property from violence and destruction. The directive targeted areas such as Place de la République, where the riots took place on Saturday, and the Les Halles shopping district, which became a target of mob violence.
The curfew, which began at 11 PM on Monday and lasted until 6 AM on Tuesday, was in effect until 8 PM on Monday, and the holding of any gatherings and demonstrations was prohibited as of 8 PM on Monday.
Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu urged the implementation of a tight curfew only in specific districts. In northern France, local authorities also imposed a curfew on children and teenagers under 18 in several cities, including Lille, from 8 PM on Monday until 6 AM on Tuesday. Nice, a city on France's Riviera, also enforced a night curfew on minors from 9 PM on Monday.
Lecornu maintained that police action in handling the unrest was remarkable, with no fatalities reported—a remarkable feat. He stated that further details on the curfew would be announced later on Monday following consultations with the city mayors.
