At this stage these protests are like a Christmas tradition right? Kids what do you remember most about Christmas … I remember being so emotional .. and the way my eyes used to water up … at the tear gas! 

Hopefully we’ll be able to avoid the CRS / Tear Gas this time around.

My advice is unfortunately to steer clear, especially if you’ve got small kids. (Am I over reacting? no idea .. better safe than sorry springs to mind for me). If you are taking a wander in then transport is free 🙂 

The “Animations de Noël au Bouffay” has already been canceled – https://www.ouest-france.fr/pays-de-la-loire/nantes-44000/nantes-animations-de-noel-au-bouffay-annulees-pour-raisons-de-securite-6130035

As always see the tan.fr website for up to date details on any transport disruptions. Lines are going to be cut in the city centre from midday until 6pm (and beyond that who knows)
