'Yellow vests' vow to man barricades until Christmas as Paris braces for another weekend of riots

Wouldn't worry too much. Whats happening in Paris doesn't reflect the rest of the country. You'll see the gilets jaunes at many roundabouts, but very few hold ups. I've never had so many "bon voyage".
Put hi viz on dash and toot your horn.
I hate things on the dash, and having a hi viz there almost drove me up the wall, a small price though. lol

I agree with the previous post, if anything it has made the French more friendly towards us.
People eager to tell us we are safe.

General protests still going strong, how long will it last?

Currently in Calais, encountered three blockades. One was at Marquise, where we normally fuel up, the roundabout before Intermarche they seems to be settled in for the long haul with braziers (hope I have spelt that right) and shelter. Really pleasant protesters who were apologetic for any delay, there was none. The fuel station at Intermarche was closed in support of the protest.
The second was on the A16 at J44 was held up for about 40 minutes by a well organized barricade, again never felt intimidated by the smiling protesters.
The third time was at Auchan Boulogne by four ancient protesters at a pedestrian crossing who took 5 minutes to cross the road, but smiling and waving as they crossed. I think that was as fast as they normally walked anyway.

The ferry was diverted en route as the protesters closed St Malo port
