Paris police signed a formal order on October 16 that restricted fireworks across Paris and three nearby departments from October 17 through October 19, 2026. The order listed which fireworks and pyrotechnic items were banned to buy, sell, carry, or transport. It applied to Paris, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, and Val-de-Marne. The measure targeted items that can be used as projectiles during unrest and covered private carrying and transport, not just sales or transfers.
