Police controls have become much more strict here in Paris over the last three days. My 5km run is now 2km and through small streets -- avenues and parks are full of police who constantly ask you to produce your attestation and an ID, and send you back the way you came if they feel you are too far away from home. I have to say the cops are being very polite, though.


Yes, this was announced here in local press back on Wednesday, which seems like it's been ages ago. I'm due to fly out tonight (Sunday) and my flight to Portugal still seems to be on as well.
