Paris, France: Large-scale demonstrations continue throughout France, with reports of hundreds of black-clad violent protestors infiltrating the protests, seeking clashes with police, damaging property, shooting fireworks, and setting fires. Police in riot gear have responded with tear gas, water cannons, and targeted police actions to deter further violence. Avoid demonstrations and areas with significant police activity. Monitor local media for updates. http://ow.ly/eAR850NqAse
