The Revolutionary Side of Paris | From Protest to Chaos

Slow Walk Journey

Oct 18, 2026  PARIS

Experience a very different side of Paris in this immersive walking documentary, following the events of October 17 and their aftermath on October 18.

The video alternates between scenes filmed during the demonstrations on October 17 and the streets of Paris the following day, revealing the contrast between the protest itself and what was left behind.

Please note that the October 17 and October 18 sequences were filmed in different locations across Paris and are edited together to show the contrast between the protest and its aftermath.

What begins with marches through the city gradually grows more tense : crowded streets, confrontations with police, fires and scenes of unrest. Between these moments, we return to Paris on October 18, where the consequences become increasingly visible, littered streets, damaged Vélib’ bikes and street furniture, burned shops, shattered storefronts and the remains of destroyed vehicles.

As the video progresses, the intensity rises, creating a cause-and-aftermath perspective on two very different days in the streets of Paris.

This is not a conventional Paris walking tour, but a street-level record of a city experiencing protest, tension, disorder and the morning after.
