The Foreign Office has changed its guidance for anyone travelling to France from the UK.
The UK government department regularly updates its advice in a bid to keep people safe when travelling abroad. On Friday, July 7, a new alert was issued for anyone visiting France.
Riots began in the country on June 27, after a police officer shot and killed a 17-year-old during a traffic check. The police officer accused of killing Nahel M has been charged with voluntary homicide and said he fired because he felt his life was in danger.
