A lot can change between now and the middle of Feb. Possibly for the better or things could still be going on. I talked to a local friend yesterday who lives on the French side, he knows about as much as what people can read on here and is concerned for his safety and livelihood.

If it were me, I would look for something on the Dutch side and if things calm down, you can always venture to the Orient area. My personal view of the French side is not positive but realistically speaking, it is a crap shoot at this point as to what the situation will be even tomorrow. Good luck.
