Map of Paris riots?

[iwakura43]

Has anyone seen a good map of where the rioting is occurring / has occurred in Paris? I was there not too long ago and I’d like to see if there’s been any rioting near anywhere I went or would be likely to go on a subsequent visit. I couldn’t find a Google Maps mashup anywhere but perhaps there is one out there.

All reports I’ve seen are that the riots are in the northern suburbs (les banlieus), generally low-income and populated by immigrants.

Summary

The current riots were triggered by the deaths of two teens killed in a crash with a police patrol car on Sunday in Villiers-le-Bel, a blue-collar town in Paris’ northern suburbs.

Residents claimed that officers left the crash scene without helping the teens, whose motorbike collided with the car. Officials cast doubt on the claim, but the internal police oversight agency was investigating.

The 2005 riots also started in the suburbs of northern Paris after two teens were electrocuted in a power substation while hiding from police.

The two teens killed Sunday were both black. They were identified in French media only by their first names, Lakhami, 16, and Mouhsin, 15.

Think South Central LA and Rodney King.

IOW, it’s not anywhere a typical tourist would go.

There’s a small map on this BBC page. Most of the recent rioting has been in Villiers-le-Bel (where the two teenagers died last Sunday) and Arnouville, both in Paris’ northern suburbs.

[Clichy-sous Bois is also shown on that map because that’s where the 2005 rioting was centered.]
