Can I travel to Paris right now? – My planned trip in April

Protests in France are one of the top topics in 2023. Some people wonder how it impacts tourism. I wonder myself can I travel to Paris right now because I have already planned my trip for the 3rd week of April. Let’s take a look at how the situation of protests in Paris looks at the moment.

Can I travel to Paris right now? – Yes

Yes, you can travel to Paris right now. There are no restrictions on tourism because of the protests in France. I already bought my plane tickets a few weeks ago and booked the accommodation. So it is confirmation that travel to Paris is possible.

Unfortunately, the situation is unpredictable and it may happen, that my trip will be canceled at the last minute. Why? Protests in Paris are about pensions, so many employees take part in them. It may happen that airline or airport employees will refuse to work. Personally, I did not get any message from the airlines about any inconveniences that may happen yet. Therefore I think there is nothing to worry about. However, I prepare myself that I may not make my dream short trip to Paris in April.

Does transport and tourism work during protests in Paris?

From the information available on the internet, there are problems with transport during protests in Paris. On some protest days, the trains did not work and the flights were canceled. I am unsure if I can get to my hotel from the airport by train. Anyway, I plan to write a message to the hotel and ask them how I can get there by public transport. I recommend this solution for yourself no matter where and when you travel. The hotel you book should have the most actual and the right information about how to get to their place from the airport or train station.

Tourism is working however some restaurants and cafes are closed during protests. Therefore it may be harder to find a place to eat. Some museums and the Eiffel tower were affected during protests in France and they were closed. If you go to Paris right now, you may not be able to visit all the attractions. So, if you want to travel to Paris mainly to see the museum and other attractions, it may not be the best idea right now, as you may not get there.

Should I travel to Paris right now?

It depends. If you already bought plane tickets and booked accommodation without the possibility of cancellation, you should not worry and go. Of course, if nothing changes until the day of your trip and there will be no dangerous situations in the city. Just make sure what protests in Paris plans for the days of your trip, to avoid the most occupied places, and check if the places you want to see will be working.

If you did not buy your plane tickets and booked accommodation yet, I recommend you hold with making a decision. There is no guarantee that the protests in France will not expand. As there were already some flight cancellations, there may be more in the future. It is better to avoid the risk of losing money.

At the moment I am not changing my plans to go to Paris in the 3rd week of April 2023. I will make an update if my travel will be canceled or how my trip looked like when I go.
