Many are reporting that the road looks like the home of the "walking dead" after today's shutdown.
Other areas of the city are completely blocked with traffic diverted from the Peripherique, local media reported.
In what French news site TFI News described as a day of "extreme tension" in Paris, the central Trocadero metro station opposite the iconic Eiffel Tower was also evacuated after a false alarm over a possible third attack.
