No-one is denying that there has been unrest in Paris.
The question is whether this will have much impact upon you as an overnight visitor to the city, and the answer to that depends where you go. As long as you stay reasonably close to central Paris, take care of your possessions and use your common sense and street-smart (which most US urban citizens should have by now, hopefully), then you'll be fine.

I did point out that this depends on where visitors choose to go.
As for open sewers, it's pretty self-evident that the look and feel of the city isn't great right now in many parts.
...and I forgot to mention the fact that the pictures published by the Daily Mail are not showing that infamous neighbourhood but the Champs Elysees and central Paris.
Maybe SHTF is happening a lot in France and the World doesn't know it! In fact, SHTF is happening a lot EVERYWHERE!
The world doesn't know it?
Lol ! That the opposite.
Everything is under projectors 100 times more than usual an amplified, for the need of sensational news by medias.
No, you can't trust the media nowadays. Even Trump says that too, as the media ******* out Trump to get him impeached... But why didn't they [...]
