- Paris curfew effectively lifted by November 7? — resolved “Yes” on 29 Oct 2026. The market resolves to "Yes" if at least one full calendar day passes between the market's creation and November 7 with no curfew in effect anywhere in Paris, according to Paris time. A curfew is defined as an official governmental order prohibiting the general population from being in public spaces, issued by the City of Paris, the Paris Police Prefecture, or a French national authority.
