The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has updated its travel advice for France, saying there is now a ‘high threat from terrorism’.
Since the change on Friday, it is warning travellers to the country that ‘attacks could be indiscriminate’.
“Due to ongoing threats to France by Islamist groups, and recent French military intervention against ISIL, the French government has warned the public to be extra vigilant and reinforced its own domestic and overseas security measures,” it said.
“Previous incidents, attributed to Islamist extremists, have included the shooting of three soldiers and four civilians in Toulouse, and a knife attack on a soldier near Paris."
