EURO 2016: floods, mass protests, state of emergency… What are the consequences for visitors?

There is always a difference between what you see in the media and the reality.

I live in Paris. The current flood is not common but more because it is happening in June than for its intensity. There are floods in Paris almost every 2-3 years. Usually the avenue along the Seine river gets closed for few days. This is happening usually during winter. Never seen that in June. But flood in Paris is common.

Same for the protest. There is a law currently being debated. Some people are trying to take advantage of the situation with the upcoming Euro to obtain new advantages. Those are usually not impacted by this new law but it doesn’t matter for them, they just try obtain again something more…

Will this impact the Euro? Certainly not… You might see some people trying to make their voice heard but this won’t go far. They talk a lot but that’s all they can do. Same for the flood. It is under control in Paris and will be cleaned out when the Euro starts.

I am more concerned for people outside of Paris that have been heavily impacted by this flood event. Those are the current victims…
