Activists, civil society groups, and labor unions across France and in some overseas departments will protest the ongoing state of emergency Jan. 30. Events are planned in dozens of cities and towns, though the largest demonstration is slated to begin at 1430 at the Place de la Republique in Paris. …

Rosenmontag (similar to Mardi Gras) parades and celebrations will be held in Cologne, Bonn, Dusseldorf, Aachen, and Mainz on February 8. Expect increased congestion traveling through these cities.

On 30 January, over 600,000 people are expected to attend a demonstration in Rome. The protest will take place between midday and 5pm on the Circo Massimo and is likely to affect the city centre.
