December Transit Strike Update (13)

THIS POST IS A REPUBLISHED VERSION OF AN EMAIL COMMUNICATION SENT BY AUP Vice President for Security, Operations and Student Services Marc Montheard TO STUDENTS ON December 16, 2019, ABOUT THE TRANSIT STRIKE IN PARIS. IT IS PART OF OUR SAFETY & SECURITY BLOG THAT ROUNDS UP ALL THE LATEST NEWS AND UPDATES FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

As I mentioned yesterday, there is going to be a big demonstration tomorrow afternoon starting at Place de la République. The demonstrators will walk on Boulevard Beaumarchais towards Bastille and then down rue de Lyon and avenue Daumesnil, to end up on Place de la Nation. As always, we urge you to do your best to stay away from the impacted areas to avoid any potential altercations between protesters and the police.
