I went to Paris to see Céline Dion in memory of my mom. I ended up trapped in an Uber during the riots.

Rebecca Mac flew to Paris to attend a Céline Dion concert in memory of her mother. She had wanted to go for years but the show was canceled before she died. On Saturday, Mac and a friend were near Galeries Lafayette when unrest began. Traffic was heavy and the hotel staff warned them to stay inside, fearing they would be easy targets.

She went to see Céline Dion in memory of her late mother, but her plans were disrupted when they got stuck in an Uber during the Paris riots. The driver tried to take different routes, but all roads were closed. The taxi was surrounded by young men throwing objects and banging on the windows. The police arrived and cleared the barriers, but it took about 20 minutes to get to their hotel.

Hotel staff locked the doors at night, fearing for their safety. Mac's flight was delayed, so she booked a flight to London and then an Uber back to Manchester. She felt relieved to be back home and grateful for the concert she attended, but she also felt a loss of love for Paris.
