With the city of Paris under siege following a series of deadly terror attacks, Parisians have turned to Twitter to offer shelter to those who are looking to get to safety.

#PorteOuverte, or “open door,” has trended worldwide Friday night. Police in France are asking that people stay inside for their safety. The country has closed its borders with the attacks still ongoing.
