In Paris and the inner suburbs, restrictions on certain fireworks, fuel and the carrying of weapons are also in effect through October 26. Here’s a look at the areas and measures concerned.

The curfew returns to République this Monday night. In Paris, the Police Prefecture has announced a ban on remaining within the area around Place de la République from 11 p.m. on Monday, October 26, 2026, until 6 a.m. on Tuesday, October 27. In the inner suburbs, other restrictions apply to certain fireworks, the transport of fuel and the carrying of weapons, under orders in force through October 26 inclusive.
