Looks like they are trying to cut off Paris and the easiest routes into and out of the city.
It would hamper any evacuation of Civilians. Not to mention delay the arrival of any reinforcements from surrounding French Government/Military. Forcing them to come by road.
France as far as I was aware also has a rather extensive Highway system or at least their equivalent.
The problem being a Convoy coming by Road. Would have quite a few problems to contend with. Not to mention the potential of needing to stop regularly to clear barricades.
And quite a few European Civilians don’t own vehicles due to the abundance of public transportation.
Meaning the Trainlines would be the only way to move large numbers out of the city limits relatively safely. City limits currently packed with Civilians including foreigners there for the Olympics.
Sounds like the work of Al Qaeda. They targeted major routes like railways all over the ME and what railways exist in Afghanistan. It's currently unknown how many AQ members or members from AQ aligned groups are in the Europe and the Western Hemisphere.
Be prepared for these types of attacks to start happening on our side of the pond in the near future.

This is why the Eisenhower administration came up with the interstate highway system in the 1950's.
Ironically modeled after the German autobahn.
