Paris announced on Monday the implementation of partial curfews in the capital and other French cities, following protests against rising prices that escalated into significant urban violence over the weekend.
According to France 24, these riots involved scenes of looting and violence that were widely reported internationally, raising concerns about their negative impact on tourism in France.
The already fragile tourism sector fears that these disturbances will deter foreign visitors, potentially leading to notable economic consequences for the country.
