Just a quick update on the NATO debacle – it seems the security services have decided to close access to all roads north of the central island.
So we’ve just been told that if we want to get from Contades to Les Halles – we will have to do so – via Etoile / Porte de l’hopital. (i.e. circumnavigate the entire city.)
Bastards.
Shortly after this we had both ends of our own street (about 200m long) barred by security forces. We’re now questioned every time we leave the house or try to return home.
(and we’re outside the security zone)
