French people are excited to prepare for the New Year 2017 celebration

Saint-Sylvestre Eve is the time when many French people will take to the streets to party all night long to welcome the New Year.

Therefore, the two most concerned topics on this Saint-Sylvestre night (New Year's Eve) are security and movement. Security here is not only about limiting and preventing the terrorist risks that have always been at a very high level in recent times, but also about controlling the extremist crowds.

In many cities in France, especially in the suburbs of large cities, New Year's Eve is always a sensitive time for security because crowds, mainly young people, after drinking alcohol and using stimulants on this occasion, often become overexcited and commit dangerous acts such as burning cars or smashing shops...

Therefore, in addition to mobilizing a large force to control security, French police also issued many recommendations for French citizens to avoid certain high-risk locations.

In addition, traffic on New Year's Eve is also a hot topic. In the capital Paris, with millions of people expected to take to the boulevards to welcome the new year, major streets will certainly be blocked off.

The Paris government has announced that all public transport in the Ile-de France region will be free this weekend and encouraged people to use public transport to travel and avoid driving under the influence of alcohol.

On New Year's Eve, 6/14 metro lines and 10 RER suburban trains as well as dozens of bus routes will run all night to serve people who come home late from New Year's Eve.

Everything is ready so that the French people can welcome the New Year 2017 in the safest way possible./.
