France: Educators to demonstrate, strike in Paris April 22

Unionized educators to strike in Seine-Saint-Denis Department and protest at Place du Trocadero, Paris, France, on April 22.

Warning

Unionized educators plan to strike and protest in Paris on April 22 to denounce proposed education reforms. Participating educators will strike across the Seine-Saint-Denis Department and conduct an associated protest at Place du Trocadero from 13:00. It is unclear how many participants will attend the demonstration.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near Place du Trocadero. Disruptions are possible at Trocadero Station, and smaller picket protests may occur at schools across Seine-Saint-Denis. Increased absenteeism may prompt business disruptions across Seine-Saint-Denis if they cannot arrange care for children who attend schools impacted by striking educators.

Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Place du Trocadero, including via Trocadero Station, on the the afternoon of April 22. Confirm appointments in Seine-Saint-Denis in advance, as some businesses and government offices may have limited services due to the closure of schools.
