Paris extends curfew hours. New bans and restrictions have been introduced.

The Paris police prefecture announced a curfew in the Les Halles quarter and around Place de la République from 11 PM to 6 AM. Metro stations in these areas will close early, and gatherings without prior notification will be banned from 8 PM. The restrictions aim to maintain order following recent riots and vandalism. Les Halles is a major shopping and transport hub, while Place de la République is known for protests. Previous curfews have been effective in keeping the peace, prompting the extension of these measures.
