Jeff Landry landed in Paris on Tuesday with the Saints' Super Bowl XLIV Lombardi Trophy, joining Louisiana supporters ahead of Sunday's Saints-Steelers game at Stade de France.
Paris remains under curfews and business shutdowns after violence spread across parts of the capital and other French cities, but Landry said State Department contacts and NFL security coordination made the trip's risk manageable.
The NFL said preparations continue as scheduled and reported no disruption at league sites, while the Saints are already in France and the Steelers plan to fly in on Thursday after a security briefing with the league.
Landry also plans meetings with Shell and BP executives and hopes to press Roger Goodell, who is expected at the game, to bring another Super Bowl to New Orleans.
