There were stones, gas, and water cannons. A hot Saturday in Paris and French cities
Demonstrations in France involved students, unions, and social groups protesting rising living costs. While Paris saw a calmer march compared to the previous week, clashes occurred towards the end. In Marseille, youth blocked streets and clashed with police, though the mayor reported a relatively peaceful protest. Other cities like Nice and Limoges experienced tensions and arrests. The Interior Ministry reported 410,000 participants, while unions claimed double that number, with increased police presence and numerous arrests across the country.
