It isn't just The Conflict. It's a coming together, sort of, of many conflicts that have been brewing for years, maybe since before the French Revolution and Louis 14's rule of Absolute Power. No, this won't end but will morph constantly into other dissatisfactions bringing street protests. With a super strong central government leaving little power to municipalities "descend dans les rues" has long been a French cry and probably will continue to be.

Enterprising tourists could use these blockages, demonstrations, gatherings in tourist areas to get out and see some of the edges of Paris that any good guidebook would point them to.
