It says that he is traveling just with his spokesperson, John Kirby and that the reporters traveling with him did not come. He is going to visit the US embassy and speak with French officials.

I watched his speech live a little while ago on France24. I thought it was a very good speech. When he finished he and the ambassador turned around to show the U.S. embassy lit up in red, white, and blue.

France24 has also had some stunning shots of the Eiffel Tower lit up red, white, and blue with a beacon on top panning around through the rain/fog. Wow!
