The Dutch embassy in Paris has warned Dutch citizens to avoid the riot spots in the French capital city at night, the Dutch news agency, ANP, reported Monday.

Citizens were asked to avoid the Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-d' Oise districts after 11 days of rioting in Paris.

The embassy singled out the Argenteuil in the northeast and Trappes to the southeast as areas of particular concern. Similar precautions should be taken in other French cities that have experienced rioting, embassy officials were quoted as saying.

The embassies of the United States, Britain, Japan, Poland and Russia have issued similar warnings to their citizens.

The US embassy has cautioned people flying into Charles de Gaulle Airport to take a taxi into the city and not to use the metro. The metro runs through suburbs which have witnessed serious unrest as North African youth battle the police and set fire to cars and buildings.

Police are now accompanying all train services through the troubled districts in Paris after the driver of one train was attacked and the passengers robbed. Similar precautions have been taken in other parts of France.
