In a preliminary situation report issued on Wednesday, October 7, the Rhône prefecture stated that the overall situation was "relatively calm," particularly around high schools. However, demonstrations were primarily concentrated at several university campuses. Notably, gatherings were reported at Lyon 1, Lyon 2, and the École normale supérieure (ENS), a prestigious higher education institution in France. At Lyon 2, both of its campuses—Porte des Alpes and Berges du Rhône—were blocked, causing significant disruptions to university operations. The blockages at Lyon 2 had immediate consequences for the academic schedule. The university confirmed that no teaching activities could take place on these campuses on October 7. Students and staff were advised to monitor their emails and the university's internal network for updates on the evolving situation. The uncertainty surrounding the demonstrations meant that the university remained on high alert throughout the morning. The protests also affected public transportation in the region. The T1 tram, a key transit line in Lyon, experienced heavy disruptions on the morning of October 7. The service was suspended between Perrache and IUT Feyssine, a stretch that serves many university and business areas. Commuters faced delays and alternative routes, as the situation was still being assessed by local authorities. Authorities continued to monitor the situation closely, noting that the demonstrations could change rapidly. While the prefecture described the overall environment as "relatively calm," the impact on educational institutions and public transport underscored the potential for further developments. Updates were expected as the day progressed, with officials urging the public to stay informed through official channels.
