I always thought the rioting in France was scheduled for the SPRINGTIME.

VILLIERS-LE-BEL, France (Reuters) - Youths in Paris suburbs and the city of Toulouse torched cars and set rubbish ablaze in fresh urban violence in France on Tuesday.
With police out in force, the situation remained tense.
But there were only isolated incidents of vandalism and officials reported no major clashes between youths and police in contrast to Monday night when around 80 police officers were injured when rioters pelted them with stones and petrol bombs.
"(The situation) is much calmer than in previous nights but you can feel all this remains fragile," Prime Minister Francois Fillon said after meeting officials in the northern Paris suburb of Villiers-le-Bel, where unrest erupted on Sunday.
