Hollande has just announced the closure of France's borders.
Lock down.

The French president François Hollande says a state of emergency will
be declared across France, adding that several dozen people have been
killed in terrorist attacks around Paris.

In a statement just delivered, the president of the republic said that
its border would be closed and that he would seek military aid to
ensure no further attacks could take place in Paris. Hollande said a
cabinet meeting was about to start to discuss the response to the
attacks.

Looking out the window here, bars below all closed now, streets pretty empty, still lots of sirens.
