3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Paris curfew effectively lifted by October 31? — resolved “Yes” on 29 Oct 2026. The market resolves to "Yes" if at least one full calendar day passes in Paris without any curfew being in effect between the market's creation date and October 31, inclusive. A curfew counts only if it is an official government order restricting public movement for the general population within Paris city limits.
  • Lyon curfew effectively lifted by October 24? — resolved “No” on 25 Oct 2026. The market resolves to "Yes" if there is at least one full calendar day between the market's creation date and October 24 (inclusive) when no curfew is in effect anywhere within Lyon’s official municipal boundaries, measured in Lyon time.
  • France declares state of siege (martial law) by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 3%, with $278 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a legally binding decree declaring a state of siege enters into effect in France by 11:59 PM ET on December 31, 2026. This decree must explicitly constitute a state of siege under Article 36 of the French Constitution and cover any part of the French Republic, including overseas territories.
