Hope things calm down a bit!
Our government doesn't want us to go over there and discover a thing called 'protest' - and better yet that 'protest' can actually work!
The other thing to note is that there is a General Strike planned in France for this Tuesday so it's worth checking to make sure your travel and accomodation arrangements won't be affected by this. When the French go on General Strike it usually brings the national transport network to a halt.
After Tuesday you shouldn't really need to worry though.
Keep us updated of your travels if you have internet access though :p
Have fun and if you can check out L' Ouef Cube and Starplayer (both great games stores).
The council workers in derby are out on tuesday so most of the schools are closed.
